use of autocad architecture in cm

[darrell]

hello to everyone, I am accustomed to working in cm. first I imposed the unit in cm then. when I go to prospects and sections but the size of the titles are wrong, too big. to make them become the correct size, when creating the section (or prospectus) where I put scale 1:10 instead of 1:100. Where is it?

Does anyone have any ideas?

post an image so we understand better what you mean.
Perhaps it is a problem of pre-setting the size of the text.
with the command "_dimstyle" try to adjust them differently

Hi.
probably the labels and section marks you use are annotative objects. for more information on the annotation scales you can peek here:

Thanks I try to work on it

After a long time I managed to fix this.
I have created a section or prospectus with annotation tools (for example to create the 4 external prospects); I selected as scale 1:100 and new design; as a template must be selected one that is already set in cm; in the new view file the initial scale is oddly 1:1000 but putting it 1:100 the size of the annotations becomes correct.
the trick was to create a new template in cm.

attention to use architecture in cm!!!
problems can be found not only for documentation elements (such as prospect labels/sections) but also for 3d objects.
not all the blocks added to the style of an object is scaled properly (to speak of the objects taken from the palettes); It often happens to see, working in a file in cm, that a window with davanzale 3d, inserted in a drawing in cm show you the davanzale of the same thickness of a sheet of paper, resulting in necessary redefinition of the block.
I have been using it for 10 years now, the meter unit remains, in my opinion, the most reliable.

I don't understand. the default program is set to work in millimeters, so both working in cm and m you go out from the standards. I do not understand why in cm there should be problems of scaling and in m no.

 

[3DeOltre]

scaling problems can be when using "created" objects in units other than the one used. the palette of the instruments of the Italian metric catalog is conceived in meters, then working in cm or mm we marry to be problems. if you personalize items from scratch, including customization of dwt and cartilage, then problems are not there

 

[darrell]

I had not noticed that the palette was conceived in m. then I could easily convert:finger:. I thought that by setting the automatic scaling of the inserted blocks there were no differences working in one unit rather than another.

 

[3DeOltre]

In theory there should be no problem, because it automatically scales them from one unit to another. what I have found is that this scaling is not always "automatic", so parts do not scale or in properties continue to see the measurements of the objects expressed in meters. I often have to work in cm, because those for whom they worked had this preference, but when I had to start and finish independently a project in architecture I preferred to work in meters.

Thanks for the tip. I'll take this opportunity to ask if you have any idea how to solve this other problem. http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/showthread.php?t=22603 . ciao
