Jeffrey – (or anyone more or less official – which is not to say "officious," at least not necessarily. But I digress…) Is there anything in the works to change the coordinate display from coords. to a relative scale factor when using the SCALE command, or after inserting blocks? IOW, you select the objects you want to scale, choose the base point, and then rubber band the object and have the status line read 1.XX, 2.XX, etc. instead of the relative coordinates. Same thing with INSERT. Surely if the display can show the object growing as you move away from the base point, a dynamic scale factor could be shown as well, even if it's an approximation for reference purposes. At least it seems that way to me (but then *I* can't program my way out of a paper bag <g>). Craig B
