Crones Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Ok, so, I have a program which draws cross sectiones of topographic measured terrain. However this drawings are already scaled meaning, every point which has been input as a number is then multiplied by 1000 and then divided by the scale (Working in milimiters and meters), so, the scale is already applied in the model tab. The result is something like this. With many many copies of it to the right as it draws a great number of cross sections. So, now I have to put this so it fits in an A1 plot, and efficiently using the space available trying to put as many cross section in one page as possible. However, I'm confused on how to insert these various cross sections, maintaning their original (in the model tab) dimensions, as they are already drawn with the scales I need. How can I proceed in the layout tab to show the cross sections in their respectives sizes? Also, there is a very annoying web of dots which appears on the layout tab everytime I pan the window, it shows like this on the zoomed area. How can I get rid of this? Thanks for any help in advance. Quote

Tiger Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 If they are already scaled correctly, wouldn't a scale of 1:1 on the Viewport be correct? Quote

Exactly, that's what I thought, however, if I input an mview in the layout in the space that's left after inserting the rectangle with data of the plan, I use the comand scale, then put the reference point, and then 1:1, however it doesn't change anything in the rectangle inside the mview.

rkent Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Wrong command. Once you have your viewport created with the mview command, double click over the viewport so you are working in the viewport. Now use the Zoom command, enter 1XP for a relative scale between PS and MS of 1. If you need a scale of 1/100 then you would type Zoom, 1/100XP. Quote

Thanks, thank you very very much, really, that's what I was looking for. Thanks everyone for your help. Quote
