Scaling Drawing Entities

All drawing entities and text can be scaled up or down in size by entering the appropriate scaling factor. A scale factor greater than one enlarges the object. A scale factor less than one shrinks the object. All scaling will maintain the entity's aspect ratio.

To scale a selection of drawing entities:

From the Modify menu select Drawing -Scale, or from the Drawing/Schedules Toolbar select $image\drawing_entity_scale_button.jpg$ .
Select Single, Window or All. Click on the arrow adjacent to the Scale button to select Window or All.
Select the entities to be scaled.
Select the point (base point) to scale about.
In the Scale dialog box enter the desired scaling factor. For example, a scaling factor of two will double the size of the selection set about the base point. A scaling factor of 0.5 will reduce the size of the selection by half.
