Window scaling paper space
« on: October 31, 2015, 10:01:09 PM »
my friends .... greetings
I ask this question .....
I'm structural draftsman and am working with Autocad from version 12 and at that time was drawing in space Model 1: 1 and there stood the format, text, dimensions ... everything related to the plane ...... NOT He is working in paper space .....
when we passed the 2008 version placed only drawing 1: 1 in model space and format text, dimensions ... everything else in paper space .... but more importantly I kept the window scale 1: 1 ..... so that the dimensions had a scale factor, the texts had different size according to the scale that I was using at the time ....... but again the most important to me have the window was 1: 1 scale and format and everything else.
In the company I am currently working with Autocad 2012 and we have working procedures to guide for creating drawings.
There are artists who produce planes differently as I've been doing.
They do not scale the format nor the heights nor the texts at all levels always keep this in scale 1: 1 scale the window IF ......... ...... amazement. ..if scale the window .... this confuses me and shatters everything I had learned from Autocad.
I always thought paper in the window space was to be also the same as the model space .... in 1: 1 scale.
And correct me think it can work both ways ..... but would like to know the right way to do more ....
my friends ... thank you very much

Rob...

Paper space is supposed to be a representation of your plot. Text heights should be as measured on paper. Viewports have a scale assigned to them.
