autocad object in mathcad

autocad object in mathcad

(OP)
Is there a better way to control object properties that are inserted into Mathcad?  I am using Mathcad 2001, whenever I edit an autocad object the object resizes itself.  This takes time because I have to zoom out to find the corners of the object before scaling to fit on one page.

Am I doing something wrong?

thanks

RE: autocad object in mathcad

I have found that it is easier to put a MathCad object into AutoCad.

hello
Try using TK instead

(OP)
What is TK?  Is it similar to Mathcad?

RE: autocad object in mathcad

I discovered that if I first set my Autocad active working window to be a smaller size and then copy from that window and paste into Mathcad that the pasted image is smaller.  I typically do not try to paste as an Autocad editable entity but instead as a picture entity.

Hope that works for you.

Hey- it works!  Thanks for the tip.
