Well you are right this did exactly what I wanted.. The only scale I
had found was where you set the units scale.....

What I was wanting to do was print a drawing out in 2x so errors
would be more readily obvious.

This particular project was to make clamps for a pair of Brown and
Sharp V-Blocks I bought at Cabin Fever which were missing said
clamps. It seemed more or less the perfect exercise to try the list
special Vector I just received from you. No cam involved just an
exercise in the CAD part of Vector 9

Thanks Garry
