3ds Max :: Resetting The Scale Of An Object?
Dec 16, 2011
When I have an object and I scale it down to 50%, then I go to the Hierarchy tab and push the Reset: Scale button, the scale of the object reads 100%. But when I click Pivot: Reset Pivot, the scale goes back to 50%. Is there a way I can permanently normalize the scale to 100% even after I have scaled the object from it's original state?
I ask because I am exporting this geometry and the scale gets exported as 50% into my other software (Maxwell Studio) which causes issues further down the line.

I have a problem with an old item I made in Max. In my newbishness I made an item that when exported (to OBJ) scales up to 10 times its original size.
Example: its 24cm in MAX
In VUE its 2.4 meters.
How do I 'reset' the scale, so that when it reads 2 meters in Max, it's 2 meters when I export it.
Obviously I made it incorectly in the first place, but dont want to remake it... There must be a way to sort this out no?

When I open a new drawing in my AutoCAD 2013 that I just recently installed last week, I encounter a problem that I am not familiar with from previus versions of AutoCAD I have worked on. First of all, the units default to decimal, and I want them to default to architectural, with feet and inches. I have to type UNITS in the command line every time I open a new drawing in order to adjust this. I have AutoCAD for Architecture 2012 on another computer, and the program automatically defaults to architectural units upon opening up. Just to let you know, the program I am having this difficulty with is part of a package called Autodesk Building Design Suite 2013. I was under the impression that it included AutoCAd for Architecture, but I think it has only standard AutoCAD.
The scale of the objects I draw vs. the scale of the drawing field is very out of proportion. What I mean is, when I open a new drawing and draw a 30' -0" line, the line appears so long on the screen that I cannot see the whole object, even if I zoom out to the maximum. I should be able to see the object in it's entirety. In fact, when I draw a line that is only 12" long, even when the zoom is all the way out, the line looks huge in length. I have tried adjusting the units to the architectural/inches setting of course, and I have tried adjusting the scale in model space from 1:1 to 1/4'=1'-0", but nothing is working.

I would like to find a lisp that changes the scale of something that has an annotative scale and deletes all other scales in the object scale list. Often i have many different scales of existing dimensions or objects. i waste a lot of time opening the annotation object scale dialogue box, selecting add, finding my scale and deleting the old scale.

Resizing objects is a mess in CorelDRAW X6 when objects are outlined with Scale With Object enabled to retain proportions after resizing.
None of the tools dealing with outlines (e.g. Contour or even Outline itself) continue to work properly after resizing the object.
I strongly suggest to recalculate outline property values after resizing if Scale With Object is checked. Don't just do it hidden somewhere internally in the object model by applying a temporary scaling factor. Instead actually recalculate the actual property values if Scale With Object is checked.

I have one object and need to create a 10mm smaller copy of it and keep the propotions. Is there any way to do it or I need to draw smaller object manually?
Here is my example. Green object is original. Red one is manually re-drawed but thats not what I want.

When I have many objects in a scene and each has a UV-unwrap, the scale (using the checker) looks to be a different ratio from object to object. Is there a way to make the UV editor unwrap to scale, so that the checkers end up being all the same size across the scene?

I am unable to coax the Object Scale dialog box to appear. Typing OBJECTSCALE and invoking the Add/Delete Scales command via Annotate on the ribbon do nothing. I looked in the CUI and everything appears normal with the command and macro. I have attempted to see if the box was just off screen, but when I hit Alt+Spacebar, the main Autocad menu highlights, as if the Annotative Object Scale dialog box is not even open. I have lost dialog boxes off screen before, so I don't thing that is the issue. I have done a Repair and an update to the latest service pack.
I am running Autocad 2010 LT on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with 8MB memory. I have FILEDIA = 1, CMDDIA = 1, and ATTDIA = 1.
I have not done a complete reinstall due to the pain of updating all of my settings, but I guess that is a last resort if I cannot figure out how to get the dialog box to show up.

After using autocad for a while, I got some questions i'd like to ask.
1) In my line of work, I have to label the items I draw in every CAD file, multileader is a nice tool to have but how do I keep the styles I make so that it "transfers" over to a new CAD file?
I have to keep making a new style everytime I create a new drawing. I would like for the default style to stay after I edit it.
2) Is there a way or command that lets me scale an object to exact dimensions? For example, I have a 800 by 750 table in my block library, the size I need is 950 by 820, normally I would have to explode it then stretch it manually on the x and y axis, is there a way to scale it up to 950 by 820 through a command?
3) I don't know what I hit, but I can't seem to select multiple objects just by clicking on them anymore, I now have to hold down the SHIFT key. How do I revert this?

I am currently working on the drawing which I initially didnt have a template for (ie the border for the A1 page this drawing will be printed on) so off I went and started drawing using a scale of 1 drawing units = 1mm.
Now I have been given the border and the drawing I have comes no where near fitting on the sheet so I want to select all of the drawing and change the scale but I obviously don't want the dimensions to change. How can I achieve this?
I also need to know as there are certain parts of the drawings that need zoomed in views so all I want to do is copy the parts I have drawn and increase the scale but again keep the dimensions the same.

It seems like the Warp tool is just another way to scale an object though it allows you to scale only the selected portion of the object that you touch with it. Is this correct? Does the Warp tool have other functions?

I have been looking through a ton of threads and can only find half an answer to what I'm looking for: When I draw in mm, I have to set the scale of the viewport to 1:30 or somewhere in that range. But in reality, the object that Im drawing isn't 1/30th of the size that it prints. How do I get the scale right to print the object at its actual size? cad 2013

I have a subdivided plane that I wish to scale horizontally to match another objects dimensions. In cinema 4d I can check an objects width and then just put that number into the other object width input.

I have imported a model from C4D using the FBX importer, and everything was fine, except that it was way to big. I scaled it down to a more "manageable" size. So the scale reads 0.01 (All axis).
My question is, is there any way I can make Scale reflect the actual object size? Maya know these numbers, because they are present when using the universal manipulator tool. I would like it if the scene scale could reflect the real size of the object. So if i create a new object, the size relates to the size of the existing objects in the scene?
Can i put the real scale on the object, and then just "downscale the scene", so that the objects don`t appear giant? Like scene scale or something?

For some reason I can't change the hatch pattern scale prior to hatching an object although after placing the hatch I can. The procedure I am using is as follows in LT2011. Select hatch, set the hatch style, over type the scale say to 100, click inside the area to hatch. Immediately the hatch pattern scale sets itself back to 1 I then have to type 100 back in and then the hatching will be set.

I'm running PS5 on Mac OS Mountain Lion. I'm having to reset the preferences file a lot at the moment, as some of the presets are going missing from the drop down box.
This is happening in the Levels adjustment dialog box. So, when I reset the preferences file the drop down presets that come with PS5 then reappear. Does the preferences file keep getting corrupted? If so, why?

While my Photoshop CS is loading it gets stuck on "reading text global
resourse" so it takes awhile to finally open. I have also noticed that
its slowing down when processing some photos. I've previously reset my
preferences and thats taken care of the problem. Here lies my current
problem. While PS is loading I press and hold Alt-Control-Shift keys
and nothing happens. Photoshop just contines to load and it never
prompts the "delete Preference settings" box. I'm on a PC and can't
seem to find how to resolve this.

"To re-create the Photoshop preferences file:
1. Quit Photoshop.
2. Rename the Adobe Photoshop CS2 Prefs.psp file (for example, to Adobe Photoshop CS2 Prefs.old) in the Documents and Settings [username] Application DataAdobePhotoshop9.0Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings folder.
3. Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new preferences file."
That's all very well and fine, but I'm pretty sure I remember something about a keyboard command that could be used during PS startup to reset preferences. I've looked through 3 or four pages of search results to find it, and no dice.

I have been continuously since buying CS5/Illustrator. Our company had its logo designed by another firm, and it has been my job to use it in brochures and marketing collateral. The logo uses a two instances of a radial gradient applied to two separate elements of the logo. The gradients are off-center. However, when I place the file into a document, save, close and re-open, boom! the gradient is reset to center, throwing off the logo. This has happened when I have least expected it, and even resulted in a very expensive reprint.
I have converted the file to different formats: EPS, JPEG and PDF, but with the first, there is a loss of image quality, and with PDF, the gradient still moves out of place.

I think I wore my CS2 out. | It's doing all sorts of wierd little things, click on images in Bridge and the images open twice, go to click on HELP to see what I need to do to fix and the HELP throws me out an error, It's telling me I don't have enough ram to save a picture, (when I know I have plenty!)
I have heard that resetting preferences is always a first step, but how do I do that again in CS2?
I read in a search here to find the preferences file in adobe through Explore, but I can't for the life of me find a preferences folder.
