Macros and diesel macros for LT can be found at a couple of websites one of which is LTUnlimited and the other is Cadding&Coding.  Your other option would be to teach yourself how to write a macro.  Instructions can be found online as well.  I know Ralph Grabowski published a short tutorial about the subject.

You don't have access to LISP in AutoCAD LT, so you're going to need a work-around.  One I would suggest is putting your key blocks on Tool Palettes.  Once there you can always modify their properties to adjust the insertion scale for the particular drawing you're working in.  And if you frequently use the same scales you might not even have to adjust them very often.

Where I used to work we had a macro/lisp that would adjust the block size based on the snap or ltscale.  

Now where I am working I don't have that anymore, and I didn't get the code before I left.  Kinda last minute notice that I was being laid off.  

Wwhere I am working at now I only have AutoCAD 2014 LT.  Which works but I am unable to load lisp files unless I add another program and violate the company polices along with the cad policies.  so what I am looking for is a Macro that I can use that will do the above mentioned.  


Needing something like this.
A code that will insert a block, set a variable tothe snap setting or ltscale , give that a multiplier depending on the setting,and then apply that to the scale factor of the block when inserting.
