Model scale and dimensions
Model scale and dimensions
(OP)
This question has probably be answered but I am unable to find the thread so I apologise in advance.
I am using AutoCad LT 2001 and have done a drawing at 1:1. I now want to double the size of one of the drawing views but when I do so the value of the dimension also doubles. I think it has something to do with model space/paperspace/layout but I am really very confused.
If any one can help or point me to an idiots guide on the web I would be very grateful.
Cheers

RE: Model scale and dimensions
did You scale by "_varia"????
If I want to scale, I use the zoom-command in the viewport (layout-space)...
