Reference scale

You can use Reference Scale to set the reference scale. The reference scale indicates the scale in which the object will be printed.

Throughout the drafting process, it governs the true proportions of fixed settings (such as the character height, dimension lines, patterns, hatching...) relative to the object displayed on the screen.

To change the reference scale

1. Click Reference Scale (How).
   

   Activate Reference Scale in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: View

   Or:

   Click the reference scale indicator in the status bar.

2. Enter the new reference scale.

Tip: In addition to the default values, you can enter and save custom values for the reference scale.
