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...
AutoCAD could probably handle different units of measure better but after 30+ years it doesn't look like they are changing it any time soon, if ever. Having to adjust the scale factor does make sense when you think about it, your title block in PS is in mm yet what you ar...
Enter the scale factor Rather than entering reference mode as before, you will simply enter the scale factor of Centimeters to Inches: 1/2.54 or 0.3937. This will re-size your entire drawing to be accurately scaled to inches. Before you move on, check that your file is configured to contin...
Example: If the Units were initially set to centimeters, and the DWGUNITS have also been changed from millimeters to centimeters, then the drawing needs to be scaled to a 1:10 factor. See Also: How to set up page size and scale representations for plotting in AutoCAD How to add ...
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 ...
scale the actual sheet that you have inserted to be width=594 and length=841. scenario 2: if your drawing is using imperial units of feet, then you'll need to convert the 594 x 841 into feet using the appropriate factor. scenario 3: if your drawing is using imperial units of inc...
