Have you tried taking it into archicad and resizing? Might work!

The only reason I can think of for the Stretch command not being available to you if you are trying to do what I think you are trying to do would be if you forgot to suspend groups first.

You CAN stretch all the line work here if, as I mentioned earlier, you suspend groups. The Stretch command will NOT be available to you unless you have suspended groups. That being said, you will still have to deal with all the text items separately.

I usually copy & paste into ArchiCAD and resize there. It's a bit of a pain, because curves and text spak out, but it's still the fastest way to resize IME.

Cheers,

What if you save out a PMK and then edit, copy & paste from the PMK.

Would that work instead of having to go back into ArchiCAD?

Cheers.
