makes sense, THX, Dan

Doesn't seem to work according to you instructions: I select the Horizontal Dimension tool, then coordinates (yet I do not have a tool that look like what you have see my attached screen shots) then I select a point on the drawing. IN any case the line does opposite of the restrain I've selected and...

Watched the video. Mine doesn't seem to work the same, yet what your typing in is too small to see what you've typed. I did the exact same 1st 3 moves and then I typed in 16" and enter, it doesn't move horizontal or vertical, it seem to move at about 45 Degrees and not the 16" i put in. I tried with...

When I select the move copy tool from the modify menu, I 1st have to select something, then if I click somewhere on the page, it then allows me to place the item anywhere, yet not constrained or defined. If I double click on the page, then the window with the 3 options, delete original, keep origina...

Neither of these tutorials answers my question nor explain how I can take an existing drawing that was model in model space and then scale that drawing to half it size, yet keep its same dimension. AGAIN I am needing to on the same 24 x 36" page have a 1/4"=1' drawing and other drawings at a smaller...
