Feature RequestsAuto-Detect Scale with AI & Manual Scale All Functions
After searching the forum for "Scale" comments I am confused about zz's plan to implement AI page scaling. We think it would be beneficial to direct AI to scale all the drawings at time of upload, similar to "Page Name", "Sheet #", "Date Issued", "Hyperlinks". Page scaling seems like good low hanging, repetitive work for AI. Additionally, as a complementary feature we would like the ability to manually batch scale drawings ("Scale All" button), ie set the scale to 1/8" for the entire set because the batch of drawings is mostly drawn in the same scale.
I swear this actually existed at some point. Maybe I've lost my mind but I thought there was a period of time where uploading drawings would have the option for it auto scale. Then one day it was gone.
@John Yeah, I think some AI scale functions were removed for QC reasons, but I have a pretty high tolerance for AI scale error, considering the alternative is manual scaling each page. On a related note, it appears we can "Auto Scale" individual, unscaled drawing by clicking on the "Dimension" tool... so a related question is why can't we "Auto Scale" the entire drawing set?
@John and @Adam, we did at one point auto-scale the pages on import, but we were running into issues with pages scaling incorrectly. We are planning to add it back as soon as we can improve the quality.
Regarding the batch apply scale, I think a few users like @Jes have also requested this, and it's something we are considering adding.
