And a lot depends on the accuracy in the program for creating PDF. Therefore the scale factor is equal to 20. When you print inches, it converts inches to points. The drawings are then plotted or printed at a plot 'scale' that accurately resizes the model objects to fit on paper at a given scale such as 1/8' 1'. In other words, a 12-foot wall is drawn at that size. On the Device Settings tab, it is possible to specify an output device, scale factor, paper format, its orientation, etc. Im not sure if this is a CAD units issue or GIS export issue, but Im getting batty looking at it. You will notice that the width of revision cloud will change as per your specifications. Select Width from the command line and specify the width for the revision cloud and press enter twice. I am able to export all the layers I need by using Tools, Conversion Tools, To CAD, Export to CAD, but when I open the DWG file in AutoCAD the data isnt to true scale. autocad Type PEDIT on the command line and press enter, then select the revision cloud whose property you want to change.

Toĭetermine the height to enter text into a drawing use the equation or table shown below.Įquation: Drawing Text Height = Plotted Height x Scale FactorĮxample: You want the plotted text height text height to equal 0.12″ (almost 1/8″ high) and AutoCAD 2D drawings are commonly drawn in model space at a 1:1 scale (full-size). Hello, I am trying to export from ArcGIS Pro to DWG. Text entered into an AutoCAD Model space must take the scale factor into consideration. To find the scale factor for architectural scales a little algebra is used. Once the scale factor is determined you will also use the value to set the DIMSCALE, and LTSCALE (AutoCAD variables).įor engineering scales the scale factor is the same as the scale. If it's a new file, just draw a line or insert an image. A scale factor can be determined based on the scale that the drawing will be displayed at. Method 1 Scaling by a Factor 1 Open an AutoCAD file with lines/objects/groups/blocks/images that you can scale. You have to print 1000 times bigger (to scale the paper drawn in m to mm). But now you have to use another scale when you print because autocad is using mm as a standard paper size. If you draw your A4 0,21m x 0,297m then you can set a viewport scale of 1/200. This complicates the sizing of text and symbols that are inserted model space must be scaled up. So you should draw your A4 in meter to get the perfect scale.

Your drawings are always drawn at full scale in AutoCAD’s model space. To ensure your drawing notes, labels and text are legible it is critical that you adhere to the standards of text heights and scales.
