Scale object in Pro/engineer ->drawing<- 2

[LucasBS]

I have a .part on this program. Imported it to a new Drawing, for A4 size.
But the object is too small on the sheet... Won't occupy a third of the availiable area.. it's hard to see, and a waste of space.
How do I scale the object inside the Drawing for it to look bigger without losing the measures?

You should see a Scale value at the bottom of your screen which you can double click to modify the default scale or double click the Drawing View and go to the scale tab. Also check that your Model Units are set to the correct unit system and was not modeled in mm with inch values.

You can change the sheet scale (all views that are set to the default scale) or the individual view scale.
To change the sheet scale, you can double-click the "SCALE: XXX" that's displayed at the bottom of the graphics area. You can also select "Edit" and "Value" and select that scale.

To change the view scale, double-click the view or select the view and "Edit" "Properties". There you can change Scale from 'Default' to 'Custom' and make it however large you would like.

No problem. And my apologies to Michael. I was preparing a response but got sidetracked for a bit and missed your post. Gotta hate that.

XSleuth,

Happens to me all the time. You were more specific in your response though (*) I guessed what he was talking about because the Auto Scale is normally very small.

But the object is too small on the sheet... Won't occupy a third of the availiable area.

There is a config.pro option default_draw_scale that you can set so the starting scale is somewhere close to what you usually want. We have it set to 5.

5 is too much
My object was 400 mm; I had to put 0.75

This time, at least.

Their sizes alway vary; So the autoscale comes handy...

Not a problem to put the value manually everytime.
Decide the scale when propper to do so...
It's right here on the bottom... Just click it..
