We will be using examples from AutoCAD, but the same steps can be similarly applied in most CAD software. What is a CAD scale factor? The scale of a drawing can be described and applied in a few different ways. It can be metric or imperial, it can be a ratio with or without units...
Given that MS is drawn in Meters and assuming your title block is in metric and will be made to mm, then a scale factor like you are seeing will make sense. But an 8:1 scale makes me believe your titleblock is in inches. It would be crazy to use a title block in inches for a...
I imported the documents in AutoCAD and I am working on them. I want to print them in A4 with an acceptable scale but I can't. I put the drawing inside an A4-sized rectangle. In the model, 1m measures 7.07 units (scale factor from A3 to A4). How can I print it so the 1 m ...
If you are working in paper space, the scale factor for dimensions will equal 0.0 and AutoCAD will compute a reasonable default value based on the scaling between the current model space viewport and paper space. You will not be able to change the scale factor for a dimension in paper space...
Metric unit drawings are quite simple. In theDrawing Unitsdialog box (reached by typingUNITSin the Command line), theUnit Typeis formatted for decimal units withInsertion Scale– or what one AutoCAD unit is understood to be – set atMeters. While you can format your units and set the scale...
Have you ever ran into this situation. You have a DWG that is using an Imperial Scale List and need to use the Metric. how can you change this. This method will work for both Imperial to Metric and Metric to Imperial. Converting from Imperial Scale List
Type: DimAligned, DimArcLength, DimDiametric, DimOrdinate, DimRadial, DimRadialLarge, DimRotated The objects this property applies to. Property Value Read-only: No Type: Double The scale factor that is applied to alternate units. Remarks...
s confused some of the savviest AutoCAD users I’ve known. And that my friend is why we can now set an Insertion Scale in AutoCAD. When correctly configured, AutoCAD will automatically figure out the proper scale when going from inches to feet, Imperial to Metric, or just about anything ...

AutoCAD does not come with any preset drawing scales to handle m to mm like Civil 3D does. Thank you. I didn't know that. This is how I have our metric Template set up: Allen Jessup CAD Manager - DesignerDid you find this post helpful? Feel free to Like this post.D...
