Hello Everybody,

How would I go about scaling a JPEG in Datacad. I have already imported the JPEG, but forgot hoe to scale it to the size I need.

Thanks,
CADwk

Enlarge, Enlargement, Cal. Dist. (Calc Distance), pick two points of a know distance on the image, enter that known distance, hit enter. Right click back one menu to get to the EGAF selection menu, pick your image.

And if you need to rotate it, insert it into a blank AEC file, save it, then xref it into your main drawing. You'll be able to rotate, scale, etc. the image to your heart's desire!

Other thing that works good for this is copying the image to the clipboard and pasting it back in as an Unexploded Symbol using Ctrl+Shift+V. Keep you from having to manage another file for the xref.
