scaling a rack

[Andy]

Hi,

Is there any way to scale a cabinet when bringing it in to Visio.

For example at the moment I want one rack to fit on to a A3 sheet but it
only fills up about 10% of the page.

So is there a setting that would then simply make an object say 3 times
bigger ??

Thanks in advance,

Andy.

I'm a little confused. Not to sound patronizing, but did you try resizing
the object to fit-- using the shape handles/grips? Or am I misunderstanding
your question?

andy,
try changing the page scale file => page setup => drawing scale,

The trouble you have with resizing using the handles is that it resizes the
available space, to put it another way I want a larger 47U rack not a 60U
rack. Hope that clarifies it better.

If your talking about an equipment rack or data rack the easiest way is to simply change the scale of the drawing. This way any stencils you may have for rack mounted equipment will still work properly.
