Couple ways:

1

  • Select the ViewPort
  • OIP>Scale menu>adjust the scale
  • you might then also need to edit annotations to adjust the text size and placement

2

  • select the VP
  • Group the VP
  • Modify menu>Scale Objects>choose a scale factor to rescale the VP 
  • This method scales the annotations, including the text. Which means the text may have unusual font size

  • You can also type in a width (ΔX) or height (ΔY) directly in the Viewport's OIP to set its overall size. Bear in mind this method will likely leave you with a viewport that's not at a measurable scale, so this is useful more for 3D perspective renderings where you don't care about scale (since it doesn't exist in perspective) but want the image to appear at a certain printed size on the page.

Just now tested in v2021 and v2022. Turns out no need to group the VP prior to rescale in #2. That might be a valid workflow for earlier versions. Test is advised.

 

But  in method #2, if rescale of text in annotations is desired, check the "Scale Text" box in the rescale dialog. This is often a good choice because the text rescales and maintains relative positions.  You may want to uncheck the box in future scale operations that do not involve VPs.  Also, use caution in that dialog, regarding the Scale Entire Drawing box.  I generally want that one unchecked.

I hadn't considered using the Scale Objects command on a viewport in order to also scale the annotative text. Great tip, thank you!
