What scale is a drawing in?

Hi everybody, can anybody tell me how do I check the scale being used? I got this file from the client, and I dont know how to check in what scale it is. Thanjks!!!

I'd start by checking the settings for UNITS. Then I usually find a dimension and look at its Dim scale value under the Primary Units heading for the dimension's properties.

Is the drawing done strictly in ModelSpace or also PaperSpace?

please use descriptive titles when posting questions, not only so as to make them easy for others to search in future, but this forum has software which looks for similar threads and lists them at the bottom of your new one, so you can quickly see if there are old answers to the same problem

in paper space select the viewport and in properties window it should tell you

what scale the viewport is at.

B.T.W. - it's best to start a new thread with each new question:thumbsup:

Like Skipso said, please start a new thread with each new question - I've moved this question to it's own thread.

And, a suggestion for your question - if no viewport is there, if everything is drawn in Model Space (*shudders* but it happens...) you need to find something in your drawing that you already know the size of, and then it's a matter of measuring and comparing.
