matters about scaling


CAD Library

Recommended Posts

After constructing my model space. I opened a new layout and inserted the viewport. I then scaled the drawing to 1/4"=1'. But now when I try to draw something in this layout the scaling is off by a factor of 12. How do I get the scaling of my line to match the scaling of the drawing? Would really appreciate some help.

You wrote that you "then scaled the drawing to 1/4"=1' ." Can you tell us what you mean by that? Did you apply a scale to the viewport or did you scale the objects in the drawing?

It sounds to me as though you forgot to drop back into model space and in actuality you are drawing in paper space.
