Scaling not working in R16 Drafting?
Scaling not working in R16 Drafting?
(OP)
I am trying to scale some imported title blocks, and it appears as if R16 (SP4) does not work properly using the "scaling" function in the Drafting workbench.
I put a value of .997 in as a scaling factor, and my part increased by a factor of over 1.5. Trying to do math functions are horrific, with completely unexpected (and seemingly unexplainable) values.
Has anyone else seen this happen?

I imagine this is not a constant thing. For math simplicity I made a new part - a box 100mmX200mmX50mm, create a drawing - everything as expected. Not that this will fix your problem, try the same example and see the results.

This is an automotive title block, that was sent to me as a .dwg file. Nothing works as expected with the scaling of this file.
I just made a box, 7.5 X 10. When I applied a scale factor of 2, the resulting geometry ended up at 39.2 X 58.8. The view scale is 1:1.
Does that sound like operator error to you?
BTW - don't get confused - this is not view scale, this is scaling function.

Workaround - do not use the manual input within "Scale Definition" dialog box. Instead, use your mouse to "ballpark" the scale.
solid7...don't worry it's not operator error
