megj Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I am working on a title block for documents. I made the mistake of creating the document at a scale of 1:1. Well, now it needs to be 1/4" = 1'0". When I scale the document down to 1/4" the title block becomes very small. Is there anyway to get this to fit the new scale without having to redo the work? Quote Link to comment
cbaarch Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 which verion are you using if 11.5 or above you need to learn about Sheet Layers and Viewports The title block goes on the sheet layer (which is always 1:1) and viewports are created for the sheet at whatever scale you want advanced properties has scaling of text .... and if you insert the drawing title as annotation you get the correct scale of the viewport Quote Link to comment
dspearman Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 In pre 11 you can move the title block to a new layer (scale 1:1) and scale the layer the other stuff is on to 1/4"=1'. Make sure that when you set the layer scale that the check box - scale text is selected. Leave both layers visible. This will also work in 11 and 12 but isn't quite as elegant or flexable as viewports and sheet layers. Quote Link to comment
