Tip 2288: DIMLFAC Quick Setting DIMLFAC Quick Setting, submitted by Matt Sibum, is a very fast way to set the DIMLFAC system variable (linear dimension scale factor) when using nonassociative dimensions in a viewport. After loading the LISP code, type DF at the Command line. The macro prompts you to select a viewport, from which it grabs the height of the viewport in both paper space and model space units. The model space height is divided by the paper space height to produce a new scale factor for linear dimensioning in the viewport. This quick utility can be a significant time saver when dimensioning detail views. |
