However, if they contain text or attributes they might need to be scaled using the same method as text. Blocks are usually created at a 1:1 scale. Hatch patterns that start with AR commonly use the drawing scale factor as the appropriate value for the hatch scale. Set the hatch scale based on the pattern used. For example, if the intended scale is 1' = 4' (1:48 scale) and you want to use a dashed linetype that prints dashes that are 1/8' in length, set the linetype scale factor, LTSCALE, to 12. The linetype scale factor also needs to be changed based on the linetype definition and intended scale of the drawing. For 1/4' text at a 1:48 scale, create the text with a height of 12'. Text height must be multiplied by the inverse of the intended scale. Then, when the drawing is printed at 1:48 scale, the dimensions will be printed at the correct scale. I understand that students will have questions related to the course, Im encouraging students to ask their questions in the Q&A section of the course. Course taught by certified AutoCAD professional. For example, if the intended scale is 1' = 4' (1:48 scale), set the dimension scale factor, DIMSCALE, to 48. New features of AutoCAD 2019, 20, version included. Set the dimension scale factor to the inverse of the drawing scale. When calculating the scale for annotation objects for printing from model space, follow these guidelines: If you print from model space, annotation objects must be scaled according to the scale of the intended output.
