scaling drawings dimensions

[ebmanne]

I have imported an assembly, about 150 parts, it is drawn to scale (1:1, real world) but I need it in 1/2 scale. I know an assembly can be scaled by deriving it and setting the scale to1/2 but that seems cluggy to me and creates a lot of extra unneeded files. Is there a better way.

What I actually need is the drawings giving dimensions at 1/2 scale without going in and changing them all one at a time from the full sized dimensions. Either scaling the assembly or the drawings works.

What do you mean by "...imported an assembly..."?

My first question is what do you mean by 1/2 scale dimensions? Do you mean you literally want to see a dimension that is, say, 10' show up as 5', or are you wanting to make the text size of the dimension half as big?
