Linear Dimension - Include arrow size in scale objects?

    When using the scaleobjects command could we have this include arrow sizes? This is something you have to do anyway in a separate step. This would help with cleanup of plumbing, architectural and structural CAD files. #feature_enhancement

    Good Point Pat - I am glad we can do it manually at least and that really isn't hard to do but I logged it in and if a quick fix will try to get it done to eliminate a step 

     

    What are you going to do with all this time we are saving you ....?

    Can't you just select "inch" for file units when importing the file?

    Maybe if you know it is inch before importing it - normally you have no

    idea until it comes up on screen. I have not tested that, But Scale should

    scale all selected items dont you think anyway.

    I agree that would help but like Alan mentions you don't always know until you import the file. Too bad on the importer it couldn't read the drawings settings and inform the user, then they could choose accordingly.

    The dwg files are unitless so we don't actually know until you tell us what

    units- that is why you have to scale the dwg after the fact
