CAD software programs are great, and while you are designing and documenting you may come to rely on these a lot. This means you will be thinking at a scale of 1:1. i watched a youtube video that explained to do a custom plot scale since my drawing is drawn in meters and the CAD unit is in meter. custom plot 1paper unit to 0.05 drawing unit. when i did that visually the drawing seems okay.

When a drawing is described as ‘to scale’, it means that each element in that drawing is in the same proportion, related to the real or proposed thing – it is smaller or indeed larger by a particular percentage. This triangle has scale degrees in rise, seconds and degrees. The scale graduations are easy to read and completely accurate. This triangle comes with a magnified scale reader to ensure that you are always working with the right scale degree for your project. Rolling Parallel Ruler Sorry, one other thing. I would recommend you work in mm in your model space ideally. So convert everything to mm in both model space and paperspace. ReplyThe laser-etched markings make the tool ideal for measuring and drawing, among students, professionals and kids. Hi Emma. Please confirm which dimensions are placed on a drawing using a scale. For example using a scale of 1:100 and I have a length of 3000mm. Drawing the line on paper it would be 30mm long, is 30mm the dimension placed on paper or would I place 3000mm? Thanks Reply Hi Jade, I think you were right the first time. The ruler does the conversion for you. So, if you have a drawing and it is at a scale of 1:50. You measure your plant and it is at the 1 mark on your 1:50 ruler, the plant is 1m. Likewise, if you want to draw a 3meter line at a scale of 1:50, you get your 1:50 ruler and draw to the 3 mark. Hope this helps. Reply
