You want to rescale an entire set of drawings.

You want to rescale an entire set of drawings in Layout. What do you do?

In Autocad you could

1. rescale the viewport,
2. then select every thing in the viewport such as dimensions and type scale, then choose a factor to scale by. say 1/2 to go from 1/4"=1'0" to 1/8"=1'0".
   (I guess this would depend on if you did your annotation in model or paper space.)

In Layout, if I am not mistaken,

1. You would change the model scale.
2. select all linework such as dimensions, section slices and text. figure a constrained scale factor. such as .5,.5 and then replace them on to the model correctly.
3. re-style all dimensions and text size, location etc.

Is that correct?

a few tests and it looks as if the dimension lines try to change with the model if they are properly 'connected' to a point on the model. copied along a path dimensions don't seem to scale automatically.

Text does scale with the scale tool but it's alignment with linework such as underlines gets a little wacky. Also text all needs to be 'size to fit' to be visible as the dreaded red arrow shows.

Does some else have a better solution?
