Drawing In Scale
Scale drawings show an image either reduced or enlarged in size.
Drawing in scale. For instance i want to plot a drawing on 34 22 d size paper. I want to plot to a scale of 1 4 1. However when you apply this scale group entities such as text labels and dimensions retain their original properties such as line and font size.
So the main thing to realize is that a blue print drawing is a scale drawing of something in the real world. When a drawing is described as to scale it means that each element in that drawing is in the same proportion related to the real or proposed thing it is smaller or indeed larger by a particular percentage. This geometry includes all native layout entity types.
Exactly how do you figure out what the limits should be set at in order to plot to a certain scale. And so what we can do is set up a little bit of a table here so let s put the drawing on the left so this is the blue print drawing. For example 1 inch on an office layout might represent 1 foot in the actual office.
The different sides of the scale are marked with different common scale ratios for instance 1 which is common for architectural drawings. You can change the drawing scale in any visio drawing. In this case of a house.
In metric drawings 2 centimeters might represent 1 meter. The change between the original and the scaled drawing is generally represented by two numbers separated by a colon like 10 1 read as ten to one. Within a group you can apply a scale to a 2d drawing so that all geometry in that group reflects the selected scale.
Scale drawings allow us to accurately represent sites spaces buildings and details to a smaller or more practical size than the original. The 20 scale is used for scales such as 1 inch 2 feet 1 inch 20 feet and 1 inch 200 feet. A scale ruler or architect s scale looks like a triangular shaped ruler and can adjust measurements to your preferred scale quickly.
Whether you are using a 10 scale 20 scale or 50 scale the values increase by multiples of 10. So for example a 50 scale drawing could use a scale of 1 inch 5 feet 1 inch 50 feet 1 inch 500 feet. This drawing has a scale of 1 10 so anything drawn with the size of 1 would have a size of 10 in the real world so a measurement of 150mm on the drawing would be 1500mm on the real horse.
I have a question concerning the plot to a certain scale issue.
