    Scale math formula ?

    any one know the formula for scaling a drawing using the transform scale function?

    it is something like the dimension you have multiplied or divided by the dimension you want etc etc.

    seem to be escaping me at the moment.

    thanks in advance.

    take the dimension you want divide it by the dimension you have.

    scaled perfectly.
