Make a view of enlarged detail using a command in 2D

[illia28BRW]

Hi Everybody

I am trying to figure out the way to show the detail on a separate page of drawing using any build-in command/function. (Have been told there is something like that). 

My drawing is 2D and I am not using a layouts, just drawing separate pages in one drawing (been taught to do like that, so please avoid writing comments "you doing wrong, just easily do it through layouts").

Its not a big problem, but have some free time at work and want to make my next drawing flowing faster. 

Usually, I just cut off and scale the detail required and put it on separate page with description. But is there any kind of reference command that will enlarge the selected area and transfer it enlarged into the next page?

Have attached some screenshots to show how it looks like now.

Thank you all in advance for your help and participation.

Save the current drawing with a different name then Xref in, scale it up, but who would do that?

I take you drafting at 1:1 scale in AutoCAD is of no concern or business requirement then, in which case you do in CAD what you do on paper: COPY command to make a copy, SCALE command on tat COPY to blow it up, now you have two different/separate copies of the same content in one DWG file.


OR... you start a new file, XREF the drawing from the first file into it, you then attached a second copy, SCALE command it up, XCLIP it to cut out what you do not need, all in modelspace, and add all of your your annotation in this second file, the first one is just the background.

Your avoidance of layouts can continue on with either scenario above: is that all you wanted to confirm? There is no automagical option do do what you posted, sorry.

 Sounds like exactly what I usually do. Copy>Paste>Cut unnecessary>Scale.

Just wondering if there is another way of doing that. Sometimes it just takes too much time to do tens of details, when some of them have really minor differences.

what i do in my drawings is i use viewports, there is no need to copy any original data to create a larger detail view, simply use a smaller viewport scale for that specific detail view. and if you use annotative text and leaders you can easily control on what text is displayed in what viewport
