I trust young Colin that the 'scaling' comment was 'Tongue-in-Cheek'.
The reason that all (Mechanical) Drawing say 'Do not scale this Drawing' ie 'Don't run your Rule over it', is that Plots are inherently inacurate. Also, it may not have been drawn accurately, but the Dimensions will be. Also, you often need accuracy better than the thickness of the lines. Where are you going to measure? The edges? The sides?
Sorry Col, 3D View gives complaints about the Drawing.
Send it again please?
