In vector drawings

Click on the ‘Scale’ field and select ‘Set scale’ from the drop down menu.

In vector drawings you have more options:

·      Type the scale

·      Choose a standard one from the drop down list (1:1000, 1:100, 1:10)

·      Define the scale on the drawing, as shown in image files.

comment_16 Define the accuracy of scale calculations by setting the number of the significant digits (the default is 4).

Description: lightbulb_16If you don’t want the scale dimensions to be visible on the drawing uncheck the ‘Scale dimensions visible’ box.

Description: lightbulb_16 In order to achieve the maximum possible accuracy in the calculations, the selection of the longest possible dimension on the drawing as well is recommended (See Auxiliary measuring tools).

comment_16 Scale setting makes sense in case of image files as well as in vector drawings that have been created on a scale other than 1:1.

comment_16 In vector files you cannot set both the horizontal and the vertical axis scale. Only the last calibration is saved.

Description: alarm_16 If you change the unit system or the unit of length of a drawing, then the scale is automatically reset to its default value (1:1). In this case all measurements become invalid and need to be carried out again.
