How can I know the right scale of my drawing to write it in the plot bar?
how can I know the right scale of my drawing to write it in the plot bar or when I want to export my drawing to pdf?
Well, a good rule of thumb is to draw all your drawings scale 1:1
then you might ask “My drawing is a building; and is too big to be drawn 1:1” but you can change your viewport scale from:
- Click the border of the viewport whose scale you want to modify.
- Right-click, and then choose Properties.
- In the Properties palette, select Standard Scale, and then select a new scale from the list.
when plotting choose the scale according to your own required scale, there’s no “right” or wrong here but there are a few limitations such as paper size; whole drawing size, etc….
- You can find the scale options from Model Space, Scale inside plot box.
Hi there maroun, (Cool Name :))
Let me clarify this, you have drawn a drawing in AutoCAD and forgot which scale you used, but now you need to export and need to write the right scale, is this correct?
