Scale objects: "entire object" greyed

[Keith W]

Hi there,

I've been having problems trying to scale a single object or class or layer, and I finally realized that "scale entire drawing" is always checked and greyed out, so I can't change it. Any thoughts why that would be?

Everything I'm working with is on design layers. As implied, I've tried separating things into classes and layers, and turning everything "else" not-visible, but "scale entire drawing" really means just that.

Thanks for any help.

I have never seen that problem before.

Can you try a new blank document and put two objects in it and then try to scale one of them.

If it works in a new file, it is likely that your file is corrupted somehow.

What kind of objects do you have in the drawing? Any imported or referenced graphic files?

"Scale entire drawing" will be checked and greyed if nothing is selected when you run Scale Objects... You need to have something selected to have your default setting or to be able to uncheck it.

This was a brand new document, with only two imported dwg drawings, each on their own layer and each entirely in their own class.

Oops: I had tried selecting one object, but I must not have noticed that the "Scale entire drawing" button was ungreyed, and so I didn't think it made a difference (since the entire drawings was still scaled). That was the problem. Thanks!
