Scaling of drawing in autoCAD 2010

Utilize the DIMLFAC process to resolve this issue. Note that 1/DIMLFAC is equivalent to the scale factor that you utilized to scale the drawing.

Example, a factor that has been scaled four times and use on a 1/4"=1'-0" page. It will be 1"=1'-0". So you will need to modify the DIMLFAC to 1/4 which will sum up to 0.25.

Measure the scaled object normally. Follow the steps below to scale it without changing its dimensions:

1. Scale the entire drawing.

2. Change the Dim Style.

3. Do not blow the dimensions up.
