Find scale of object

[matt4]

What command can I use to find the scale of a object? Or where can I find the the scale factor of a object?

 

Thanks

This is why EVERYTHING (except the border) should be drawn full size.

 

Without knowing a reference length there is no way to determine anything's scale. What do you have?

[matt4]

I understand. I learn't more at college about correct Autocad drawing principles then where I am currrently. For this assignment I have to follow my tutors instructions

[dbroada]

so what information has he given you?

If it is a block click on it and look at properties. Same if the object is a viewport in PS.

 

If the object has not been drawn to true size but it is obvious what size it should be (like a front door over here is usually 36") then you can do the math. What size does it measure now versus what size you know it should be.
