jbwilliamz Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hey hey, I've got a quick question, I'm working on a drawing that requires me to copy over a detail from another drawing, the original is in 1/10, and I need to put in my drawing as 1/25, but the dimensions are on paperspace, is there a quick way to convert the dimensions to 1/25 my drawing? Cheers big ears, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Dimensions in paperspace will remain the same regardless of the scale of the object on the viewport as long as the dimension is ONSNAP to the object on the viewport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwilliamz Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 So how would I go about doing this then? Would it be a case of re-dimensioning the viewport in paperspace at 1/25... When I try this, instead, for example, showing a gap of 50mm, it shows it as 5000...? Thanks though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 one thing more, check your dimension style, this is to make sure that changing viewport scales will dimension according to the size of the object in the viewport. or do you have your dim style this way already?

jbwilliamz Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Yeah, I tried that, it's currently set to "use scale of 1.000". Aaargh...Ok, start afresh, how do I dimension 1/25 in paperspace, like I said earlier, I have a 50mm gap, but when it comes to dimensioning it, it turns out to be 5000...?

(Aaaargh!!) ??? check your dimstyle, under primary units, under measurement scale check the scale factor! it may be set to more than 1(maybe 100 in this case) thats why the actual dimension is multiplied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwilliamz Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Balls!! That simple, didn't realise that is was set to 1000. Hey man, thanks for the patience!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
