GUSTAF Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I have a symbol drawing that contains a lot of other symbols. I am trying to scale it so that it can fit into another drawing. >Edit Symbol< and >Scale Object< do not work. Any suggestions?I need HELP or else I have lost a lot of work!!! gustaf Quote Link to comment
Fuge Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Just a suggestion: Since you have symbols nested within a symbol you cannot just scale your symbol. Your only real way around this is to duplicate the symbol you want to scale. "Edit" the new symbol and "Convert to Group" within the symbol definition. If your symbol is a hybrid (2d and 3d) then be warned that Converting to group will destroy the 3d part if your in top/plan or the 2d part if your in a 3d view when doing the "Convert to Group". So this may not totally help you. Also note that the reference to the original symbols are broken. Dave Quote Link to comment
Bryan_dup1 Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Something I do at times is to {convert to lines}{hidden line} and then you can rescale by menu or curser with shift key held to keep proportion. If you are doing a top view be sure you are in 3d top view or several or all of the symbol/PIO's will not appear in the conversion. Quote Link to comment
