muck Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 AutoCAd 2009 I am duplicating a drawing on 24 X 36" that has a scale of 1"=100'. How do I set up that scale in AutoCAD when using a veiw port? The view port scales show ratios and 1"=1'-0" Arch scales & metric scale ratios. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Assuming your drawing units are feet (not feet & inches) while in the unlocked viewport... Zoom > Center > 1/100xp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 You can also simply click on the viewport and manually type 1"=100' into the pulldown box on the viewport toolbar. I'm pretty sure there was also a way to edit the scale options available from that pulldown menu, but I can't for the life of me remember where that option is...

Fritz Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hmmm, doesn't seem to recognize that command, but I use 2004 at work. I guess that's just a newer command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipali Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 this was probably added in 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardman Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 you can also set the scale using the zoom command in the viewport by using the xp option (meaning times paperspace)... 1"=100' is 1"=1200" thus a ratio of 1:1200 thus you would zoom>1/1200xp...of course this ratio will only work if the model space stuff was drawn in inches and the tilte block in paperspace is drawn in inches too...
