Wow! This is great to get help. Thought my settings might be wrong somewhere else. I did have in auto scale earlier though. Let me work on this now. Thanks
As for grid getting in road, yes and no. Since i havent figured out how to draw entirely in command mode I use the grid to set my starting points some for lines and rectangles. And laying out rooms etc
How do you get auto scale fully engaged like that? I can get auto scale to light up, but but the grey box beside it is still visible. In your screen shot grey box showed nothing at all. And the best i can do is get the dimention lines to read in inches as in paper size even if the screen has the 1"=10’ active at the time
Don’t worry about the text field to the right of Auto Scale. You don’t need it in this case anyway. All you need to do is enable Auto Scale and you must do that with either the Dimension Tool or an existing Dimension selected.
If you have Auto Scale enabled, it should work. As I told you, though, you need to have your drawing all in the same Scaled Drawing, not split into separate groups as you have it.
