Set simple transformation options to specify how to adjust the scale, rotation, and XY offset of objects retrieved from an attached drawing. Use these settings to make items from the attached drawings appear at the proper orientation, size, and placement in the current drawing.
To set transformation options
- In the Planning And Analysis workspace, click Home tab
Data panel Define Drawing Set. - Click Drawing Settings.
- In the Drawing Settings dialog box, select the drawing whose objects you want to transform.
- Under Simple Transformation, select On/Off.
- In the Scale box, enter the scale factor to scale the objects.
A value of 2 doubles the size of objects; a value of 0.5, halves the size of objects.
- In the Rotation box, enter the angle in degrees to rotate the objects.
- In the Offset (X,Y) boxes, enter the amount to offset objects using the drawing units from the attached drawing.
- To select coordinates manually, click Pick.
When prompted, specify the points on which to base the simple transformation.
- Click Apply.
This procedure transforms objects from the attached drawing as they are queried into the current drawing. When objects are saved back to the attached drawing, the transformation is undone. To permanently transform selected objects, use the ADETRANSFORM command.
