How to make all dimensions a multiple of 2?

[StevetS]

Good evening everyone. I had to create a sketch and bring it into a drawing at a .5 scale. I converted that sketch to draft entities and cut and pasted it into another drawing I'm working on. Now dimensions are all showing as half the actual dimension, hence the .5 scale. Wondering if I can change a config somewhere that makes all dimensions come in as a multiple of 2. If not I can always manually override the dimension. Thanks!

Maybe using the "scale" command?

The scale will only enlarge the entities in the drawing, but my sheet size can't get any bigger. Thanks for the answer anyways.

After the scale you can export to DWG and import again using the option "Import Dimensions As Separate Entities"

Do the inverse scale now that the dimensions are not associative.

That should do it.

Oh very cool! I have never used that option. Thank you!

If you do want associative dimensions, consider using File > Prepare > Drawing Properties > Detail Options, option 'draft_scale'.

Much simpler solution...

I have already used that option in past but couldn't remember where it was.

Thanks for sharing.
