Q: The Design Master graphics and text are too big or too small for my drawing. How do I make them scale correctly?
A: Design Master uses the standard CAD system variable DIMSCALE to determine the scale of the current drawing. DIMSCALE is used to size text, leader arrowheads, most device blocks, and other drawing elements that are not to scale. Design Master entities are designed to look right collectively as long as DIMSCALE is set correctly. To make your Design Master entities scale correctly for your drawing, you will need to adjust your DIMSCALE value, then update the Design Master entities on the drawing using the steps outlined below. NOTE: Do not use the CAD SCALE command to rescale Design Master entities. The changes will not be saved and will likely be undone later.
Updating Design Master EntitiesOnce your DIMSCALE has been set correctly, to update the size of devices and text already on the drawing, run the Coordinate Drawings and Database command. Ribbon:Â DM->Utilities->Â Pulldown Menu:Â DM->Utilities->Coordinate Drawings and Database If you have inserted any schedules on the drawing, their text and blocks will change the next time you update them. |
