"Rescale Blocks/Text" command?

[deltacoolguy]

Does anyone know of, or have, a "Rescale Blocks/Text" LISP routine?  Aka "newscal2".

Apparently, this command did not make it into Civil 3d, and it is one that I seriously miss.

Thanks.

Please explain to  those of us thats clueless as to what the routine "Rescale Blocks/Text" does.

Rescale was the ability to increase or decrease blocks and text size (scale up or down) while maintaining the same coordinate system. It was wonderful for blocks and text that was not annotative. There is no way to do it now without picking the individual blocks, selecting similar and increasing their size via the Properties Manager. I am currently working with a drawing that has, maybe 50 different blocks and I will have to do them individually (per block name), One step...Rescale would have handled it. Bummer....

Doesnt sound that difficult to me. Unfortunately i'm on "observer" mode .Other forum members who are "C3Ders" can probably help you out. Or you can explain more to us. a sample drawing or image perhaps?

It mostly becomes a problem when working with old drawings, client provided drawings, non-Civil 3D drawings, basically blocks that were not created at 1:1. My drawing is 1"=40'. Some of the blocks are at a scale of 40, some are 3.5, some 9. Just can't typr in rescale and scale by reference 40 to 30, you have to select each block, select similar, check the scale and adjuct proportionally. It took me probably 1.5 hr. when 1 step would have taken care of it.

Dumb.

I MISS Rescale.

Not sure, but i think with the proper tool it can be done. Throwing in a little math in there should do the trick.

As the pBe said:

I also do not use the "C3D", but perhaps the BSCALE and the TSCALE commands, do the trick...

hope that helps

LOL!

[jbonin]

I will give it a try, Thank you!

[jbonin]

Thank you! That seems to be a good workaround!

You're welcome, jbonin
Glad I could help
