- Description:
- This command enables you to change the scale of a drawing in a frame.
-
- Indicate and confirm the drawing whose scale is to be changed. The
- system presents the current scale in the command line. Specify the
- new scale. If you wish to fit the whole drawing into the frame using
- automatic scaling press <ENTER>. If the drawing was a
- clipped drawing (green frame), its status will be changed to unclipped
- (red frame).
-
- When you change the scale of the drawing, the drawing "shifts" due to its
- changed size. In order to control this "shifting", you are prompted
- to specify a point that will remain fixed in its location while the scale is
- changed around it. You may select one of the following options:
-
- - origin of the frame (six points, see commands \dpscl and \dcscl)
- - center point of the frame
- - origin of placed file
- - a user defined point
-
-
-
- If you select the last option, specify a point.
-
- State whether you wish to keep the frame. If you reply `y' the size
- of the frame will remain fixed (relative to the drawing sheet) and
- the drawing will be reclipped to fit the frame. If you reply `n' the
- frame will shrink or grow according to the clipped drawing and no
- more or less of the drawing will be seen.
-
- You will be asked if you wish to keep the result. If you reply `n'
- the previous scale size will be restored.
-
- NOTE: You must reply to this prompt. If you do not your file may be damaged.
-
- You may indicate further drawings for rescaling until you select another
- command.
-
- NOTE:When indicating a drawing you may indicate either the frame itself
- or its contents but indicating the frame will save time.
