How to scale drawing?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm sure this is pretty simple but for whatever reason, I can't figure this one out!

I'm trying to scale my layout 48 times bigger. Like so:

But whenever I insert my DWG template, this is the scale of my xyz:

How can I change this geometry scaling programmatically?

Thanks ... I feel like I'll regret posting this question because of the simple answer that's coming!

You need to make selection set..

then you can use tranform matrix from autocad.net

I figured out that we need to create a new Scale3d(x,y,z) to the ScaleFactor of the block reference being inserted.

When I insert my drawing I need to set this like so:

Using lock As DocumentLock = acDoc.LockDocument
    Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
        bt = TryCast(tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTable)
        btr = TryCast(tr.GetObject(bt(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite), BlockTableRecord)

        Using newdb As New Database(False, True)
            newdb.ReadDwgFile(templateName, IO.FileShare.Read, True, Nothing)
            btrId = db.Insert(templateName, newdb, True)
        End Using

        Dim blkRef As BlockReference = New BlockReference(New Point3d(0, 0, 0), btrId)
        blkRef.ScaleFactors = New Scale3d(48, 48, 1) 'Modify scale to needs
        btr.AppendEntity(blkRef)
        tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(blkRef, True)
        tr.Commit()
    End Using
End Using

 That's how I scale my drawing being inserted.

Yeah I saw Kean's post as well. I figured there was an easier way to solve this once the drawing was inserted.

Thanks for the link anyway though!
