Question
I have a cd with drawings at 1 to 50. How do you convert these drawings back to full size 1 to 1? Then rescale back to 1 to 50.  The drawings on the disc have been produced using Auto Cad Lite 2000

Answer
Mark,

You're gonna have to go on every single one of the drawings and rescale. I know it's an ugly job. However, you can also run a batch routine to expedite the process. In the past, i had a project translating over 3000 drawings from the Helix Microcadam platform into Autocad. I used this software from www.multibatch.com & miraculously did the job. You might wanna check it out & inquire about customizing macros. Hope this helps, let me know.

Regards,
