CyberAngel Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Welcome to the forum! 1) In model space, draw your square at actual size. 2) In paper space, create a viewport at 1=1 scale. 3) Plot the layout at 1=1 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Mspace units = mm. Pspace units =mm. Select A4 as paper size. plot & viewport scale = 1:1 If your plotter is accurate, the drawing will be. The scale is full size, unles there is a typo in your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
