Funny thing is I realized I was also reading 'How to scale in AutoCAD' in guess what.. in the sourcecad website hahaha. Gonna download the free Dimensioning Best Practices Ebook Thank you very much for this vid and the instructional site and ebook.

[@paulhennessey3454]

Are you plotting in model or layout?

[@अण्वायुवरीवर्त]

I get triggered when someone uses imperial or anything else than metric That's dumb Ik but it is what it is

[@paulhennessey3454]

I cant wrap my head around it.. may as well be using roman numerals haha

I have a problem as well, when I select monochrome, the picture is still coloured. Any help, please?

[@erzcav4793]

Thank u :)

[@eyaminhasan018]

very nice

[@ashutoshbhakuni303]

How do I add a visual ruler to at one corner of the drawing (when I am not displaying dimensions) so that someone can match the ruler drawing in the printout with an actual ruler to confirm that the drawing has printed correctly? This is of much need in pdf too as the pdf reader doesnt show the drawing to actual dimensions at 100% zoom and it varies from one file to another.

[@seanj5249]

You draw lines on your model space and use the linear dimension command

[@muhammadsherwani9022]

What a Soft Voice!!! ............WOW :)

nice explanation..thank you!!

Thankyou.

[@nitinsawant1352]

Thanks sir ❤

[@BHANUPRAKASH-rx2pe]

Sir, what if we draw the layout in meters, I will be thankful if you answer the question

[@luimma]

I think i have the same problem that you are experiencing. When drawing in meters and going to the plot dialog, you find it either lets you print mm or inches, if you choose mm and then match it to meters, (1m =1000mm or 0,001m=1mm) you find your annotation scale does not match the plot scale (like selecting 1:1 annotation scale in the viewport leads you to a 1:100 printed drawing) from what ive found is either you start drawing in mm or you edit the default scale values to match what you are selecting. www.cadmasters.com/techsupp/ldt/metric.html this may help you

[@safdarkh786]

Hi, where's the second part

[@allisone2848]

thanks sir

[@mabyean381]

can you teach to make sheet manager?

[@timsiege]

How do you do 1:100?

[@neilaguilar424]

Salute you boss

[@marcain123]

Isn't the first example wrong because your unit is in feet, yet you scaled in inches...

[@sourcecad]

The unit is obviously set to Inches which can be checked using UN command, I guess you got confused because the dimensions are mostly in feet whereas the plot window shows it in inches?

[@TechGuruMania]

Nice
