How to scale troublesome survey drawings that are drawn in meters to mm. Initial attempts to scale a base plan by a factor of 1000 caused gCADPlus to crash. The problem was overcome by searching for and locating areas of the design containing hatching, removing those entities by filtering the selection set and moving hatches to an isolated layer and deleting them. Once hatch entities were removed, the drawing scaled without difficulty and gCADPlus could then be used for new drafting without incident. ... See MoreSee Less
