Good morning.
I ask for help with scale problems.
I set, before drawing in the model space, the units in mm
trying, however, to hang in the layout windows (on sheets a2), the drawings (set in scale 1:1) are much smaller than what should be
How is it possible to solve the problem?
(as the various units of measurement have been set)1556296185469.webp 1556296275083.webpthanks for the help
greetings
 
bored problem, but just look for a little and understand.
by carcad there are no mm, m or km. There are only units.
The latter are transformed into metric units (mm) only in the printing phase (even because only they make a sense). So much so that in the unit window you do not specify the units what they are, but only its decimals.
the insert scale indicates the scale ratio between the current design and the design (or block) during the insertion from the outside, if defined in the outer block (I always hold it on indefinite).
Therefore, if you want to draw in mm, you can make a 1000 long line (for a 1m long object in real scale) and draw everything like this.
what will make the difference will be the ratio in print phase, which you set 1:1 (1 unit = 1mm printed).
This report is also used to set the layout sheet (as you did), because it could for various needs, be different from that of the model and that of another layout of the same file.
inside the layout you will have visualization windows (viewports) that have their own scale factor. you can have multiple windows with different scale factors, as if they were different cameras that frame the model to different magnifications (decided from you window by window)
so if you see small the model within a viewport it is likely that the viewport scale is reduced (e.g. 0.1 or 1:10 as viewport/size view in the model)
in the layout click (1 click) on the window and read on the bottom row the scale value of the window, if less than 1 the design will result you smaller, if larger.

I know I was prolific, but I tried to be exhaustive and clarified.

problem solved, as you said you had to change the viewport scale.
being in the first weapons with autocad are not very practical and I didn't think it could be there the problem
Thank you very much
