How can I scale a view port

[peterg]

I have drawn a component in model space (front & end elevation), when I put it into my view port I want to scale it 1:2. Is there an easy way to do this?

The viewport is in your layout right?

Here's two ways, if you select the viewport...

Another option is to pick the scale off the dropdown list on the Viewport toolbar.

And from the Command Line:

 

Command: [i]zoom[/i]

Specify corner of window, enter a scale factor (nX or nXP), or

[All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/Previous/Scale/Window/Object] <real time>: [i].5xp[/i]

this seems the easiest way, do I just use the decimal equivalent as the scale factor?

i.e 1/4 scale would be .25xp

2 times scale would be 2xp????

If you had picked it off the toolbar you would have been done by now. LOL

Yes, but you could also enter the scale factor ratio:

 

1/4xp = .25xp

and

2/1xp = 2xp
