Default Rescaling %'s

If I have something at 1/200th scale, and I want it at 1/250th scale.........What percentage should I set the printing at to get 1/250th scale?

not sure, any help would be great

200 (you have) / 250 (you want) = 0.8 (ratio) × 100 (percent) = 80% (what you bash into your printer/copier)

Glad you reminded me of that formula, i used it to rescale a 1/100th to a 1/250th. Granted, some of the pieces are going bye bye, but their hidden anyway
