I have several Autocad 2013 plans of drawings in 1/8" scale (scale factor 96). I would like to covert these scale drawings to fit the 1:87 HO scale. I want to print some with my 3D printer. Is I possible to highlight and select the drawing in Autocad and SCALE by multiplying by 1.???? or -1.???? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much! I'll try that and see if I asked my question correctly.

wag_ca,
WOW!!!! I copied the drawing and pasted beside the original so that I could compare results. I then selected the new drawing and went to the command line and typed SCALE, then 96/87. Unbelievable and so simple. I have worked for weeks trying to figure by math, scale factor, etc. You have added more weeks to my modeling life!
THANKS again,
Wayne
