I have a macro on my website that will do that. You'll have to edit a multiplier factor in the macro and take some measurements from your screen to make it turn out right, but it works.

go to the macro library link, it's called Zoom 1:1.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the link to your site - and of course the macro. Actually spent about an hour yesterday cruising round your site - very interesting!

Anyway, I've tried inserting your macro but admit to failing. I just can't get it working. I've not done this before and the help doesn't seem to clarify it enough. I can bring the swp file over and save it but even if I go back in under 'edit' I can't see the macro code. I hate to say it but I need the 'real idiot guide' to importing your macro.

Matt, can you, or anybody here help me out?? Oh!, the shame of it!!

Just do this:

Extract the zip to your macro directory ( I have made a SW_Data to root of my C: where I have made "Macros" -folder along with other custom folders ) Then go to SW, choose TOOLS - MACRO -> EDIT it gives you "browse" -window on wich you show the [scale1.swp] It open on SW's VB editor and theres line [ modelView.Scale2 = 0.859 ] playing with this value you get the macro to work properly ...

you do know, how to make it as a button to your toolbar???

Hi Kvick,

Thanks for your help. I have done what you described and it now works a treat. I had been doing what you said but with one difference. My new macro directory was in my main data directory and not on the root of C directly. Whether that should make a difference of not I'm not sure but anyway, it works now. I have created a toolbar button and that works too.

Thanks to both of you.

The location of the directory should not be an issue... I have mine on

c:\SW_Data\Macros

Thanks. I'm glad Kvick got you up and running.
