sketch11 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I often import PDFs and scale using a fraction, such as "8/0.1234567". But this won't work and I have to use "80000000/1234567". Is there a setting that would allow the first method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombu Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 No, you can use a fraction or decimal not both. There's a rational numbering system and a decimal numbering system, the one you want doesn't exist. You could enter 'CAL at the command line then enter 8/0.1234567 to get 64.8000473 returned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch11 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 OK thanks for confirming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketxu Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Or you could use lisp function at commandline when input scale ratio : (/ 8 0.1234567) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch11 Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 OK, is there a lisp function available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to using 'CAL just enter what ketxu posted for the scale at the command line. I doubt either would work in a dialog box. That's a very odd scale though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 when you use scale, going through the options it will ask for a scale - where you'd normally type '80000000/1234567' You can use this instead ( / 8 0.123456789) which is the LISP code for 8 / 0123456789 - as above scale -Select Object -Select Base Point ( / 8 0.123456789) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch11 Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Thanks for clarifying tombu, Steven P, and also for the code ketxu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
