Re: Q: How does scaling a drawing work

Hello,
Ok, lets say that you have a .dgn drawing and you measure the distance
between two lines and it measures 5 and now I want to copy parallel a line
.4m from one of those lines. If I want the final drawing to be ploted to a
scale of 1:100 in metric what would be the correct distance that I would
need to copy that line to make it .4 m for the final drawing.
thanks

Hi Jon:

1.If you are plotting 1:100 scale then, you should copy parallel 0.4m
2. If you are plotting 1:1 scale but like the same size as about then
still
copy parallel to 0.4m and after that you scale the whole drawing to
0.001 factor.

Comprende?
