Sengna Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I always put the dimensions and text leaders in model space, is it true if I plan to have 3 different viewport scales, I would have to create 3 different dimension styles for each VP scale, it’s quite hard to predict in advance which VP scale that I am going to use, Let say I am going to use 1/8”=1’ what is the simple math formula to use? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 That is one way to do it. The other two would be 1) Use annotative scaling for your text and dimensions or 2) place all your text and dimensions in your layout (not in model space).

Glad to hear that, Place texts and dims is a pain when i have to change to different viewport scales then i have to re dims but the good side is that no need to mess with the overall scale. I have never tried a'nnotative, but i heard it will automatic adjust the text size for any viewports. 1/8"=1' will need to use ovell scale of 96, what's about 3"=1' what is the overall scale? what is the formula you use? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) That would be a scale factor of "4".
