rvt,

since your answer makes sense, I'll try to wrap up the mess ....

Very often I want to draw a small piece with a scale factor. for instance, a 40 mm object twice as big. then, the problem is that when I put dimensions, it shows 80, which is obviously correct on the drawing, but not in reality.
