I am trying to scale a shared cell. I select it, then pick the Scale button from the Manipulate toolbox. I want to scale it down 0.25 from its present size. I leave the scale setting at Active Scale but when I try to change the XYZ scale factors to 0.25 it reverts to 0.00000. I can't get how I can simply select an object and scale it down by a scale factor that I specify. This has got to be very simple to do, so I must be overlooking something.
thanks,
david
doesnt making changes to a specific shared cell automatically change all instances of said shared cell?
.. if so I recommend you drop the shared cell back to ordinary cell first ......before you attempt any changes to a shared cell...
can you fence say an area that has typical cell and key in FF=
then you will be prompted for a file name and where to save then upload this dgn here or email it to me offline
I want to look at your dgn file as scaling cells ie no different to any other element..
Also go to your design file settings and write down all the settings or screen capt and up load .. why because what you describe is just wrong cad doesnt work like this.. when you select scale tool does it look like this

It sounds like the Scale Lock setting in the Design File Settings dialog - under the Settings menu.
Its a bit obscure, but I remember being caught out by it years ago.
