I have created many of our standard details in our custom library. I have used the template 1"=1' and nearly all of the details are drawn Not to Scale.
When I create a detail sheet for a project I will some times need to show 6 details and sometimes 8...the number varies. so in order to fit 8 details in a given space the size of the details will need to be slightly smaller than if I only needed to insert 6 details. I have changed the size of the inserted detail by changing values in the properties tab in AutoCAD. so I might make the x scale, y scale and z scale be 0.8 and they fit and all match in size. not sure if this is the correct way to deal with the situation, but it works until...
I edit the detail and overwrite the block in another drawing...the 0.8 size detail opens up back in the 1.0 size. If no edit occurs the detail remains at the 0.8 size.
So even though the block is inserted...it appears to still be linked to the one in the Landfx detail location.
what is the best way for 8 details to be placed in the same space as 6 details might normally take?
