JamFam Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Greetings everyone, I have a technical drawing and for clarity purposes, I want to enlarge just one small section but I don't know how. Can anyone help with this? Thanks Quote
Strix Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 are you drawing in modelspace and producing the drawing itself in paperspace? Quote
CADDict Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 If you're doing everything in Model Space, just copy what you want and pull it out to the side and blow it up. If your'e in Paper Space, just open a new viewport and zoom to a new scale. Quote
JamFam Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 My drawing is in Model space and I have always viewed my image in layout1. I've never used paper space, honestly I don't know how, though I'm sure there are benefits to working entirely in paper space. I guess if I open up another viewport I can scale my enlarged view of the object to what best fits the area, is that right?? I hope that helps answers your question. JamFam Quote
stevsmith Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 In model space (my usual drawing style) I would ten to put an elipse around the area im going to blow up and lable it "detail A" etc. Pull it to the side and scale it up. As long as i note underneath that the detail is a different scal to the original. Ive attached an old drawing to show you. Stevie. 309.zip Quote

Tankman Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Show detail all the time. Copy and scale up the detail you want to show. Label the detail, i.e.: Section "A", or whatever you want to call the enlarged section. Quote
JamFam Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Wow!! great help as always, layout1 is paper space?? it seems so simple but made to seem so confusing. Thanks JamFam Quote
