How to dimension an enlarged detail

Post by caster » Sat Oct 01, 2016 1:28 am

I want to copy out a small section of a larger drawing and scale it up by say by a factor of 3. But when I try to dimension this enlarged detail I seem to be stuck with the dimension values being enlarged by 3 also . How can dimension the enlarged detail with the original dimensions?

Hello Jim,

after launching a dimension tool you can adjust the scale in the option bar.
