You can do this with fields - see a sample drawing: http://www.cadforum.cz/catalog_en/block.asp?blk=4163 - http://www.cadforum.cz/catalog_en/block.asp?blk=4163 ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |

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? ------------- Ferna |

This is made via fields, but they work from AutoCAD 2005, don't you have an older version? ------------- I'm sorry for my bad English. Kackac |
