🖱️AutoCAD - Scale in Paper Space
Tutorial on How to Print to Scale in AutoCAD's Paper Space: How to Scale a Drawing in AutoCAD's Paper Space.Generally, preparing our drawings in AutoCAD from the layout (paper space) is the best way to save valuable time that we can later dedicate to other tasks. Many people still set up their drawings in AutoCAD's model space without knowing the advantages of the layout (paper space), wasting valuable time. Therefore, it is well worth spending some time learning to use the layout space.
Scaling a drawing in AutoCAD's layout space is super easy. You just need to follow these steps:
Step One - Draw in Model Space: Create your drawings in AutoCAD's model space at full scale, meaning at 1:1 scale.
Step Two - Create a Viewport: Generate a viewport in AutoCAD's layout space.
Step Three - Create Scale: Customize your own scale in the "Viewport scale" menu, which appears at the bottom right of the AutoCAD layout space when you select a viewport.
Step Four - Adjust the Viewport Scale: Select a viewport, then from the same menu, assign the scale you created earlier. The scale for that viewport will automatically be applied. All that’s left is to adjust the drawing and fine-tune the viewport margins to display the elements you want. Easy, fast, and for the whole family! ;)
