SPACETRANS (Command)

Calculates equivalent model space and paper space distances in a layout.

Find

SPACETRANS converts lengths, typically text heights, from either model space or paper space to its equivalent length in the other space. It is intended to be invoked transparently at a prompt for text height or other length value. When used at the Command prompt, SPACETRANS displays the computed length equivalent at the Command prompt.
