ReMark Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Draw the rectangle full size in model space. Switch to a layout. Create a viewport if one isn't already available. See your model? Now, scale the viewport. I recommend using the Viewports toolbar for this. When done plot the drawing at a plot scale of 1:1. Refer to AutoCAD Help and your User's Guide for further details.

My problem is that if I draw a 26000 unit long rectangle in moldel space it is far too way long, I can't handle it. How would I get over it?

ReMark Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 You could draw the world's tallest building (Burj Dubai at almost 900 meters) in AutoCAD and it wouldn't be a problem. Your rectangle is just a flyspec in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
