Change Scale of viewport with scale command

[Anonymous]

Can this be done?

I'm wanting to scale a viewport from 1:100 to 1:50, at the same time as doubling the size of the viewport frame. 

Is it possible to combine this without using SCALE to double the size of the frame, then opening the view port and amending the actual viewing scale?

Not even if you turn the viewport into a block: it's still a two step process. Sorry.

As Dean said it is a two step process, but you should be able to write a macro to cut down on the number of clicks required. One quick example is below. Feel free to modify to suit your exact needs.

^C^CSCALE;\;\2;MSPACE;ZOOM;2X;PSPACE;

If you are new to macro writing here is a link to a basic macro writing PDF guide.
