2D MODE- HOW DO I REDUCE SOMETHING BY HALF?

Anonymous — Wed, 04 May 2005 02:24:31 GMT

Gidday all,

Regarding 2d mode- I drew up a section of a shed- 1:100- I have a border/ titleblock I made up in 1:200...when I change it to 1:100, the actual border/titleblock is still at 1:200 but the drawing is not. Is there a way to minimise my titleblock by half so it is 1:100???

Cheers,

Andrew

gidday to the west island . . .

sounds like you're mixing your model/documentation around there mate. try using plotmaker application for your titleblocks and archiCAD to generate your model/drawings. it's a much clearer, easy way to work when you know how . . .

if you persist, select everything that you want to 'resize', ensure that grouping is turned off and then go Edit>Resize. you can define it graphically, or enter x, y, z resize values (0.50 for each in your case)

Yeah I'm a bit all over the shop with ArchiCAD, still slowly teaching myself!!!

I'll have a go at what you said.

Thanks
