txs for your prompt answer, I was scaling the drwg. out but in fields (chart)nothing happened, i meant i change the dim from 1x1 to 2x2 and chart still 1x2 it didn't change to 2x2. I noticed that chart is a proxy entity, DBX application, but to be honest i don't know how to make it work, should i load it or... what should i do?

This is made via fields, but they work from AutoCAD 2005, don't you have an older version?
