Scaling Drawings in AutoCad
Posted by VCLCo Super on Tuesday, November 5, 2013 10:39 PM

  1. Click Output Paper tab  Plot panel Plot. At the command prompt, enter plot.
  2. In the Plot dialog box, under Plot Scale, enter a custom scale. The scale requires two values, the number of plotted units (inches or mm) per the number of drawing units. The type of unit is determined by the paper size you chose to print on, but you can change it in the list box.
  3. If you enter a custom scale, Custom is automatically selected in the Scale box, even if the scale you enter is the same as a standard scale in the list. A custom scale is the ratio between the plotted units and drawing units.
  4. Click OK to plot/print the drawing.
