DWG-Editor

Hi

I am stuck with using the DWG-Editor for some of the 2D drawings that
my company produces. They are not wanting purchase a license for their
ExpertCAD 2D package.

Why I try and do a detail section, I scale the part of the drawing I am
wanting to 'blow up', say 2:1. Of course when I go to dimension the
detail, the dimensions are doubled up as expected. Is there a command
I can use where if I go to dimension the detail it sees the detail as
being 1:1?

Thanks
David

 

Why don't you use 3D, and then save as DWG of DXF if you need these
formats?

 

David,

The setting is
dimlfac
If for example, your detail is at 2:1, set dimlfac to 0.5.

Hope this helps,
Greg.

 

If you are dimensioning in modelspace, then if your DIMSCALE variable
is set to 0, the text of the dimensions will all appear the same size.
This is regardless of your modelview scale.

Thanks Greg, that's just what I was looking for.

 

Glad to be of some help. I remembered that from my AutoCAD days
