Another Scale question
#1
I have drawn a cattle working area(200'-200' area) but it's not to scale. I now under stand how to scale a drawing at the begining, so I now have a template scaled correctly and would like to cut and paste the incorrect drawing into the correctly scaled template.

One of the fences is suppose to be 140' long, but when I draw a dimension of it it's only 11'-8" long with the current scale.

Is this Possible or do I redraw it in the currect scale?

Thanks for the help.

If your entire drawing is off by the same scale then you could rescale it by 12
11'-8" = 11.666667' then 140' ÷ 11.666667' = 12

Does your 200' measure 16.666667' or 16'-8" and does other lines measure off by a scale 12?
If all of your other lines are off by different scales then it will probably be easier to redraw it.
You can use the [Edit Object data] under the Edit tab to measure lines without having to dimension them.

You can rescale your drawing by:
going to the Select tab 
then box select the area you want to change 
then click on the [Sc] button  (Change view scale)
then type in 12 which will show up at the bottom of the screen and press the ENTER key.

You will have to go to View All or Press [CTRL-A] to zoom out to see your drawing.
