bikoy Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 hi.. everyone Help I have some question and i need ur farther explanation pls, About units in my autocad... Why my autocad always use the inches insertion scale...even i change the insertion scale to meters, from the very begining of my drawing... example I draw 2 x 2 box i use the meter insertion scale, and when i look at in the paper space, and scale it in 1:100 why is it my drawing looks very small, what i want is my 2m drawing, will be scale in paper space 1:100 actual.. i think that was happen because the insertion scale is still in inches..but that was I have already changed. What did the correct settings to make it right More idea pls!!! Quote
NBC Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Try looking at INSUNITS, INSUNITSDEFSOURCE, and INSUNITDEFTARGET in the help file. Ideally they should all be the same within every drawing; usually they are not. In your instance, you would need to set them all to a value of 6 Quote
bikoy Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks...! for the help, i got the exact use of units now, but the problem i dont know how to use metric template, because when i scale my drawing in 1:100 in meter, the template or pspace will show the scale in 1:100 of inches unit, for example i use CM units, and, I draw a line w/ a mesure of 1 and i scale in 1:100 in pspace, the output i measure in paper was 1 inch in actual , not 1 cm... thanks!!!!
