Help fellow CAD people. I recently went to work for a company who makes all their viewports 1:1 and then plots to whatever scale they want. I come from a totally different school of thought where the viewports are set to whichever scale you want and you plot the drawing
1:1. Their titleblock etc. are all set up on this method. The company has alot of people who have been here 15 years, so you're not going to get people to change the way they do things. My current problem is this. I have a road plan and profile on one sheet. Both view ports are set 1:1. When I create the profile and tell it to be a vertical scale of 10 (which is what the boss wanted) it plots out not to scale. With trial and error I found that if I create the profile using a vertical scale of 7.5, it will then scale on a 10 scale when plotted at
- Am I being obtuse? Why should I have to do that? The vertical scale shouldn't be affected by the overall scale of the drawing right? Is there some setting somewhere that is affecting my profile? HELP.. please. Thanks
