I have a design done in Turbocad deluxe for mac. The problem is that I have it in a 1:1 size thinking I could just change it later to 1:14 scale. Well, I do not know how and was hoping to get some help.

Any pointers?

Can you shrink or enlarge by a percentage? That's how I do it with AutoCad.

Is the file in a archetectural scale or an engineering scale? You should be able to go into the scale option under file, at least thats what I remember from the last time I used an autodesk program a couple of years ago:confused:

I've never used Turbocad, only AutoCAD and Sketchup (plus a few obscure CAD programs) but anyway I found this quick tutorial on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07OxMe0-zOw If that's the same program you are using it looks like you can use the differential scale option, but just type in 1/14 or (0.0714...) for both the x and y values. Of course I'm not certain this will work so make sure you have a backup of your drawing. Hope this helps.
