    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    hey everyone great site

    Im a student and i drew out my assignment on CAD. I am running AutoCAD Architectural 2007. I drew my assignment out but i think i mess up with my limits and scale. I need my wall section drawing to be printed out at 1:5 scale. If you started the drawing with diffrent limits and scale can you change them at the end when you want to print it out?

    how can i print this out at 1:5 scale

    can anyone help a newbie out.

    thanx

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    First lesson: Draw everything in Model Space 1:1.
    Second lesson: Read up on paper space, creating viewports, setting viewport scale and printing from paper space. These topics have all been covered numerous times here, so do a search of the site.
