Use formula cells to calculate the new component values. Replace the (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | Steve and Don, Thanks for the replies. I didn't know how to do that! Unfortunately, not only do I have to remake the _parts_(for which those tips would be useful), I have to recalculate the _primitives_, and your suggestions don't work on (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | (...) Ah, I see your problem. You want to rescale the primitives internally, and not rescale them in the type 1 lines where they're included by the part files. If you were on linux, you could probably do this by adding a few lines of code to the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | (...) Actually, you could try this. First scale your primitives by 0.64. Then scale the parts by 0.64. Then fix the primitives inside the parts by rescaling the type 1 lines that pull in the primitives by 1.5625. I just tried this with ldglite on (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | Don, I tried what you suggested and it worked in L3Lab and LDView, but MLCad doesn't seem to recognize the scaling of the primitives in the part file. --Ryan (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | (...) Hmmm, what technique did you use to do the scaling? 0 SCALE meta-commands, or scale and then inline. I used the inliner approach. Here's how it goes in ldglite using the familiar LEDIT style commands (with the scale and inliner extensions). (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | (...) Well first of all I don't have either ldglite or LDAO! And I am not sure what you mean by 'scale and then inline,' nor am I sure of the meaning of inline/inliner in this context. I'm off to a real good start! :] I could add 0 SCALE lines to (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
