tool print scale

[emilierollandin]

Hello, everyone.
Since I am often asked what value to insert during the printing process to have the desired scale I propose to you this small utility that serves this purpose.
you find it on my website:http://www.archistico.com/portfolio/1845/just extract the zip file in any folder and start the executable.
are two parameters to be inserted:
- the measurement unit used in autocad to draw (never scale the design according to the print, always draw in the real size)
- choose the print scale;
will be provided the value to be inserted in the autocad print pane.

... is often asked what value to insert during the printing process to have the desired scale. . .

It's very true, the concept is simple, but at most it seems difficult to understand.
I also saw insert "tabelle" in the dwg with the values for prints. :tongue:
I wonder why someone should be ingenious to realize these things when autodesk could safely implement his press dialog.

Still good.

autodesk could safely implement its printing dialog box

I agree with you.
It would be little to help especially those who approach the programme

it is not so difficult to print in scale in autocad. especially if you print from the layout.
when setting the layout, just indicate 1 design unit to how many mm it corresponds.
e.g.: if I design in mm-> 1 unit = 1 mm; if I make the design in cm-> 1 unit=10 mm; if I make the design in meters-> 1 unit=1000mm; in this way also the "ragiona" layout with the same model measurement unit.
the desired print scale is assigned to the windows without having to do equivalents.
If I use texts and annotative quotas, they scale me directly, guaranteeing the graphic uniformity.
cute program that was developed, but the tools there are within the software.
if you prefer to print from the model as in autocad 13 then... .

I don't say it's difficult, but for many it's a problem, especially for those who use it little...

...if you prefer to print from the model as in autocad 13 then... .

This is true, but I have not always, it also depends on what you need to print.
I do not think it is necessary to create a layout if I do not have different tables based on the same model or multiple scales of representation.
I certainly do not create a layout to print (e.g.) a quoted plan.

I agree with you, gp, that may be a problem.
I can't hide my insufficiency against model printing, I apologize. I am now used for years, having to print only tables with views in different scales, to print from layout.
autocad lends itself to be used in different ways, all valid, if you reach the result. far from me to say that the method or tools used in one way or another are not correct.
