Scaling a Digimap in Autocad mac

Hi,

 

I wanted to ask how to scale a DWG Digimap file in autocad mac ? the map is 1:10,000 but I want to work in 1:1 so i can import blocks and they will be the correct size. Do i just scale the map up by 10,000 to get it to then be 1:1 ?

After you scale up by 10000, yoy need to use ZOOM command with Extents or All option to fit entire drawing on the screen:

 

 

Command: ZOOM
Specify corner of window, enter a scale factor (nX or nXP), or
[All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/Previous/Scale/Window/Object] <real time>: E
Command:
