Separate Autotext entries and Title parameters are available for Drawing Scale and Original Scale: if you place an Autotext for “Drawing Scale” on a Layout or Master Layout, the Drawing Scales of every Drawing on that Layout are displayed. Your customized Drawing Scale is distinct from its Original Scale. Instead, the drawing’s Resolution (in dpi) is indicated.Ĭustomizing the Drawing scale has no effect on the scale of objects within the drawing it is equivalent to a graphical resizing of the Drawing, like the effect of magnifying a document with a copy machine.
CREATE DRAWING PRINT TO SCALE PDF
Note: For Drawings placed on Model Views, and for placed Images and PDF documents, no scale is shown. Note: If your source drawing size, as defined in Master Layout Settings, is larger than the paper size you choose here, ARCHICAD will automatically resize the drawing’s output size to make it fit on the page. (The Width/Height/Magnification values will change to reflect the new Drawing scale.) To rescale the Drawing on the Layout (instead of using the original scale of the source view), choose a predefined scale factor from the Drawing Scale pop-up, or enter any other custom scale. Use this option from the Magnification pop-up. Use these fields to set the size of the placed Drawing in either measurement units or as a percent of its original size (the Magnification). A change in any of the fields will result in corresponding changes in the other three fields, so that the drawing’s proportions remain fixed. The first four fields - Width, Height, Magnification, and Drawing Scale - are interrelated (as indicated by the lock icon). If it is not checked, then an external Drawing’s source files must be available if you open the project in a different location.
