Scale List
In most cases, drawings are printed at an accurate scale.
When printing a model space, the plot scale is set in the Plot dialog box. This scale determines the ratio of the unit of length in the printed drawing to the real unit used in creation of the drawing.
When printing one of layout tabs, the scale is applied to the model itself displayed in the layout viewports. It defines, for each viewport, the ratio of the paper format dimensions to the model dimensions in the viewport.
Standard scales are available from the list of scales in the corresponding nanoCAD tools:
In the Plot dialog box:
For a selected or active viewport:
· in the status bar
· in the Properties toolbar.
The list of scales is managed in the Edit drawing scales dialog box
