    Here is what you hit or very very similar. I just did it with these written directions on my desk a few days ago.

    Edit
    Reshape
    Scale (Select all)
    -you may have to hit do it
    -in the command line its waiting for you to type in x,y go ahead and type in 80,160 or whatever numbers you need.
    Do It and your done.

    I redid one from 10,000 x 8000 so you should not have issues with a smaller scale.

    Not too bad, g'luck

    When I type in the dimensions in miles rather than the new scale (x2), I loose my selection and nothing happens.

    I suppose I could just change the scale bar from 0-10, rather than 0-5 and make the grid half size, and just double any distances I want the program to calculate for me. Thanks anyways!

    If you want to have CC3 double the size of your map and be able to keep calculating distances and such, try this one:

    In the menu bar, select File>Drawing properties.

    Then, in the dialog box, select "map units" (or something like this).

    There, you will see a setting for correspondance between inches and distance units. Change this value (in your case, I think you should put 0.5).

    Click OK. You can check if it worked by using Info>Distance on the total width of the map. The result should now be double than initial. If not, it means I am wrong and you should put 2 in the above-mentionned dialog box .

    Your scale bar symbol will not update automatically, though.

    Delete it, click on the icon right above your symbol list, on the left side. This will display all symbols that have been used previously in the drawing. Select your scale bar.

    This will open a dialog box. Replace the word "Scale" by the length (in map units) of the scale bar. In your case, it should be double than on your original drawing. Position the scale bar symbol on your map. You're done.


    There may be some inaccuracies in my explanations above as I have no access to CC3 right now, but I had a similar problem on one of my maps recently and I played with these settings.

    Fabrice's suggestion is probably the easiest. You can read more about it here:

    http://www.profantasy.com/cchelp/hlp_cmd_units.htm

    If you click on different parts of the Units dialog box on that help page, you will see additional information and definitions.

    I can't seem to find the command line. Nevermind I figured it out.

    Thanks
