Issues scaling angular dimensions

[mgomez_madeteco (Manuel Gomez)]

Hi there,

I am having some trouble scaling angular dimensions. I made a python script where I read a DXF file created by another software that only outputs in millimeters, then does some drafting tasks (layer changes, texts, dimension styles, etc.) and then scales to inches before exporting into a new DXF file.

It all works fine except I cannot get the angular dimensions to scale properly, they are always too big.

What can I do to get these to scale correctly like the rest of the dimensions do?

Here’s an example.

Before scaling:

After scaling:

Thank you!

I noticed this was changed to scripting but just wanted to mention that it also happens when scaling manually in Rhino.

Manually, you’d have to modify the dimensions one-by-one by selecting the middle control points and moving those.

Thank you Wim!

I need to do this on hundreds of drawings (hence the python script). I hope there is a way to do it via script.
