Non-uniformly scaled blocks.

Any way i can reconcile the scale of all instances of a block so i can then refedit them all?

maybe edit the source and reinsert=itself?

I guess my question is why are they non uniform scaled, and after you refedit them, do you have to put them back to non u-scaled? You could process the entire dwg to reset the scale to be uniform, but that would be a global change i think

you could try using BEDIT since you are using 2007. The one disadvantage is you lose sight of the bits around the block you are editing but a couple of construction lines pasted into the editor can often help.

the XREF or block sounds like it has been scaled in your drawing. This should do it:

Scale it back to 0
Refedit
Re Scale it.
Close refedit

If it's an XREF, make your you've set UNITS correctly in both your main drawing and XREF.

Scale it back to 0probably better to scale to 1 :)

I had a pig of a job to be honest; no to be honest it would be offensively termed.

Basically I had to to take some boreholes, trial pits etc from multiple drawings, standardise a lot of the blocks and attributes and then add them to some other drawings whilst retaining geographical accuracy.

Let me tell you, a variety of block sizes, shapes etc all with different attribute sizes was just a complete piece of trash.

But, when you have contractors, other offices etc it is to be expected.

BEDIT was the option I chose in the end.
