Scaled Dimensions

by Anonymous
(United States)

I often import other drawings in model space, but use the Scale command to size them as needed in my drawing.

If the drawings have been dimensioned using the Dimension command, then all of the dimension numbers will change along with the scale (example, a 1'-0" dimension on a drawing, scaled up by a factor of 5, will now read 5'-0")

If there a way to "freeze" the dimension numbers, so that the dimension will still read 1'-0" no matter is the drawings is scaled up or down?

Thanks.
