I have a file that I drew using version 12. The file's paper size is 100 feet wide which depicts my property lot size.
The file contains (among other items) a fence that I drew on a 1:1 scale. I drew the pickets to be 5.5 inches wide by 6 feet tall.
Now I would like to reduce the paper size to 8.5 X 11 but retain the sizes of the wood that I drew. For example:
After reducing the paper size, if I select a picket, the displayed width of a picket that I drew (i.e, that's shown in the bottom left of the Corel screen) should still read 5.5".
The manual is not too clear on how I can do this. Can somebody please help me?
I think what you're after is Dynamic dimensioning. If you select 1 dimension you'll see that Dynamic dimensioning icon is selected. If you turn that off the text will not change after scaling your drawing. It can be quite a task to select each dimension and turn it off one by one. You could use a macro to "toggle this on and off for all them at once.
Sub ToggleDynamicDimensions()Dim s As Shape ActiveDocument.BeginCommandGroup "Toggle Dynamic Dimensions" For Each s In ActivePage.FindShapes(Type:=cdrLinearDimensionShape) 'If s.Dimension.DynamicText Then s.CreateSelection If s.Dimension.DynamicText = True Then Application.FrameWork.Automation.Invoke "fdaf006a-eeb2-38bb-409b-40b9c7abac44" Else If s.Dimension.DynamicText = False Then Application.FrameWork.Automation.Invoke "fdaf006a-eeb2-38bb-409b-40b9c7abac44" End If End If Next s ActiveDocument.EndCommandGroupEnd Sub
