    Default How to scale using a known dimension

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I was sent a site plan that was not drawn in full scale (for whatever reason). I remember learning a way to scale all objects in model space using a known dimension. I only recall setting a point at each end, using the scale command, then NODE, but i cant remember the rest. Does anyone recall how to do this?

    Try using the Reference option of the Scale command
