Scaling down rotated dimensions

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Dec 2016 11:00:03 GMT

I regularly need to scale down drawings to 0.001 in order to get drawings into external survey software.

When i perform the scale down, rotated dimensions stay at the original scale and I can't work out how to reduce these.

I currently delete them to see the drawing but would like to know how to reduce them to the new scale accordingly.

Hi Boyes,

A solution could be to edit the dimension style and decrease the text height and offset and making the arrowhead smaller (both by 0.001) ?

Or a little less clean method could be to select them all and directly edit all those properties in the properties panel.

Hi,

I suggest to use DIMSCALE system variable which you can change and set your scale factor.don't forget after changing the factor to update your dimensions .see attached image
