‘Adjust to scale in layout’ pattern setting

Pattern and reference scale

When set to Adjust to scale in layout, the size of the pattern elements in the layout changes dynamically with the scale at which the layout elements have been placed. Components like walls are based on this setting.

Patterns are displayed differently in layouts and documents. The display in layouts is of relevance.

Display in layout

The size of the pattern elements is at 1:50 twice as large as at 1:100 but the number of pattern elements remains constant. The size of a single pattern element depends on the following settings: the value set in the pattern defaults, the height/width factor specified in the pattern parameters and the scale at which the layout element was placed.

Example: you are using pattern 301 and the height of one pattern element in the layout should be 10 mm. In the pattern defaults, a height of 100 mm is defined for pattern 301. You therefore need to enter a factor of 10 in the pattern parameters (height of a pattern element in the layout = pattern height defined in the defaults x factor x layout scale). At a scale of 1:100, the height is 10mm (100mm x 10 x 1/100); at a scale of 1:50, the height is 20mm.

Display in document

As the number of pattern elements remains constant, the display in the drawing file does not change even when you change the reference scale.
