Scale and type of scaling |
||
|
Scale Specify the scale for the scale area or viewport. You can select a preset value, or enter any desired scale. Note: For example, to specify a scale of 3:1, enter 3:1 or 3.0 (which is converted to 3:1). |
||
|
< Temporarily reverts to the drawing. You can select a scale defining entity (for example, another scale area, a dimension, or a scale text) to set the scale of the area you are editing. |
||
|
Length Scaling Sets the length scaling factor. It defines the ratio between drawn length and real length. For example, with a length scaling of 2.0, a line of 100 units is dimensioned as a line of 200 units. |
||
|
Text Scaling Sets the text scaling factor: This setting defines the dimension text height, symbol sizes, and table sizes. For example, with a text scaling of 2.0, the dimension text height is doubled in size. |
