and also if i make the dimension and the text and when i plot and set different scales and different viewports how i can get the same size of the text and dimension on both the viewports on the layout.

For moving everything, you can select everything by just windowing it, then type "move", enter, pick the point you will want to locate at 0,0, then type "0,0", and enter.

You could also type "select", then "all", and continue with the "move" as above.

 

For your second question, you may want to start a new thread with a new title to draw the correct attention. Are you trying to view the same thing in different viewports at these different scales, or are you viewing different things in each viewport?

Either way, I am going to take the route of annotative scales in your dimension and text styles. Answer that question first (and probably in a new thread) and you should get a lot of opinions and methods on how to handle this.

I think what you're looking to do may depend on some of the global settings in your AutoCAD profile. My workstation will not move items to 0,0 with the method suggested above, but if I do this:

 

select all
move
click on the point you want moved to 0,0
#0,0

The # sign is the key with my setup. There is more to this but I just haven't read up on it for a long time now. And rickh is correct about annotative text and dimensions although this is a whole science in itself and not as easily understood as the docs say, let alone deploy.

Thanks for the tip.God bless you

Thanks Brenda...I never even knew 'cause I never use dynamic input. Here is the official word on the matter from the documents:

At a prompt for a point, enter coordinates in the tooltip using the following format:

#x,y

If dynamic input is turned off, enter coordinates on the command line using the following format:

x,y
