7.2.3 SCALE ENTITY
The SCALE ENTITY command is used to scale or scale and copy a group of
entities.
COMMAND FORMAT
#SCALE ENTITY SCALE value [modifiers] :Ent ... :Loc x1 :Ent ...
The entities to be scaled or scaled and copied are selected at the Ent
prompt. The location 'x1' defines the local origin for the scale transfor-
mation. ( See fig. 7.19 ).
MODIFIERS
COPY The COPY modifier is used to create a new copy of the entities
that were identified. The original entities are left intact
while new entities are created at the specified scale and
origin. ( See fig. 7.20 ).
Without the COPY modifier, the original entities are scaled.
.ACTIVELAYER When entities are copied using the SCALE ENTITY command, the
new entities will be created on the same layer as the original
entities. If the ACTIVELAYER modifier is used, the new
entities will be created on the current active layer.
.ACTIVEDEPTH When entities are copied using the SCALE ENTITY command, the
new entities will be created on the same depth as the
original entities. If the ACTIVEDEPTH modifier is used, the
new entities will be created on the current active depth.
SCALE Requires a positive vale defining the scale factor. A value
of 2.5 will enlarge the entities to two and a half times
their original size. A scale of .5 will reduce the entities
to half of their original size.
NOTEXTSCALE This modifier is used to inhibit the scaling of text. The
location of any text entity is affected by the scale, but
the text height and width remain unchanged.
NODIMSCALE This modifier is used to inhibit the scaling of parameters
associated to dimension entities. The dimension layout is
scaled, but the dimension arrowheads, lead and extension gaps
will remain the same. ( See fig. 7.21 ).
