Good idea. Now how do you only print that one
view?????? (WITHOUT CREATING ANOTHER SHEET)

if you create a scaled detail view to be 1:1 and then print only that
view?

look at it from "two" direction. Big and Small.
I deal with molded
parts. Viewing parts not to scale in "real world" can be very misleading as
related to the complexity of the mold and equipment needed to produce them.
Being able to view parts in their "real size" allows me to better
conceptualize exactly what it is I am dealing with.
As an example,
take a simple sewing needle, with the "eye" for the thread at say 0.003".
Looking at this on paper at say 100:1 gives the the impression that the eye is
big - 0.300", - and "no problem"... but is misleading, as it may be "no
problem" to produce a 0.300" eye, but is something else to produce the real
eye of 0.003"
So... from that standpoint I like to be able to view
1:1.
The same thing also applies the other way... take a "large" part
that has been reduced, like a car bumper for instance. Reducing it to fit
small paper is also misleading. At first glance, looks "easy", and from one
standpoint it is, but requires large expensive equipment to produce it - which
again, can be misleading if not comprehended correctly.
So from my
point of view I like 1:1 in "real world", but mainly for the reasons stated.
If it fits 1:1 on 8.5 x 11, then fine. Otherwise I would plot it on large
paper 36" x whatever at 1:1.
Course' I dont know what I would do to
view something as large as a "whole car" at 1:1... paste all the pieces of
paper together I guess (ha ha)
If conceptualization is not that
important then "scale" is not that important either... I just make everything
"fit" on 8.5 x 11 (if I can)
And yes... I did start my drafting career
with "paper and Pencil... but I do like CAD better... 'Inventor' in
particular... even with all the "crashes")
