good morning
is the first time I write here
I can politely ask for more information about what makes view11.vlx
when I give view11 command on the command line you ask me monitor sizes in inches
and nothing else

Where did you find this lisp routine?  What is it supposed to do?

I'll answer my own questions.  You found it here and this is what it does... "zoom modelspace objects on your monitor to physical 1:1 size in mm".

Doesn't sound all that useful unless you are attempting to measure something you have drawn right off your screen.

So, when prompted for the monitor size did you enter anything and if so what?

Well it does work but it seems relatively useless to me.

In my test I opened a new drawing using the acadiso.dwt (metric) template.  I drew a square 25.4x25.4 then doubled clicked my mousewheel which forced the square to fill most of the screen.  I next took out my trusty tape measure and physically measured the monitor screen area (glass portion only, not including the plastic bezel) which in my case turned out to be 24 inches.  Why provide the screen size in inches not millimeters?  Anyway, I input that number at the command prompt and pressed Enter.  The response was Scale 1:1 which I accepted by pressing Enter again and the image resized itself.  I placed my metric scale against the screen and the square measured 25.4x25.4 so the routine works but what's the point?  Most people are going to dimension their drawing and then print it.  They aren't going to measure the screen image and construct what they just drew.

Ho anche avuto questi test fatto, ma ho visto qualcosa senza senso
che si pensa di non aver effettuato correttamente Lisp

I also had these tests done, but I saw something meaningless
that you think you have not performed correctly lisp

even infinite thanks

If the lisp routine failed to produce what you expected then here are some reasons why that may have been.

1. You couldn't figure out how it worked.
2. Your model space object was too large to be displayed on your screen at 1:1 scale (in mm).
3. You failed to properly measure the screen's diagonal dimension.

I had complete success but I see no practical use for the routine and I doubt I will ever have any need of it.
