Can't figure the scale?

Hogfan · 发表于 2022-7-8 06:25:19

i have imported a drawing from someone else and i cant figure out the scale. i always draw in 1/2 normal and this scale is like 1/1000 or something like that. How can i find out? I need to dimension all his stuff, so we can see what to do. Sorry for this stupid? I am green when it comes to all the AC details. Thanks in advance to all.

Thanks for all your help! When i came into this dept. they were already drawing in 1/2normal scale. so i just followed suit and i will see about drawing in full scale. i normally just do cabinets and extruded die walls and such. Learn as i go!! Thanks again for all the input and help.

I heartily agree with what was mentioned in #7 above.

I usually have to go to P.S. as due to our size constraintes, we automatically draw at 1:1 to keep things easy to measure and then alter scale ratio just before insertion into P.S. for a fifty foot long parcel does not fit the plotter well at 1:1 ratio.

Probably because you do everything is model space right?

Of course we draw all things in model space and then place stuff in different layout views. Is that not the most common way to do it? Works good for us, we use AC08 as the base program for our cabinet software(Microvellum).

Sorry. I did not realize you were in fact making use of layouts.

That's cool! No problems! Thanks again.

H'Angus is right. There is nothing wrong with the scale the drawing has been drawn 1:1. What is going on is there are several different dimstyles set to different scales. I'm assuming for plotting in paper space on different sized sheets. Depending on the sheet size depends on the dimstyle used and items are dimensioned in paperspace.

If you want to dimension in model space you can just pick a dimstyle that looks right when plotting on the size paper you want. Annotative scaling solves this problem - this feature came out in ACAD 2008.

The other option to annotative scaling is to put all your dimensions in your layout. But, as always, each to his/her own.
