Easy way to check scale?

[matt4]

Hi,

 

Is there a easy way to check the scale factor of a drawing? Like using properties or such?

 

Thanks

You mean the Viewport scale? Just click the viewport's border and it will show in Properties (and right below the drawing screen if you have it toggled on)

Hi,

 

No, I meant scale factor

 

Can you overscale in autocad? Say I scaled to 0.707 and scaled to 0.707 again would it scale down twice to a new value?

 

Thanks

Yes, you can scale objects as many times as you like, for instance, if you scale a 10x10 square by 0.5, it is now a 5x5 square.

 

Scaling this again by 0.5, the result would be a 2.5x2.5 square - the equivalent of scaling the 10x10 by 0.25.

 

0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25.

 

If you mean the scale factor of objects through viewports, then follow Larry's method, as shown above.

Thanks, That is what I needed.
