SCALE ISSUES ON GENERATED DRAWINGS

[dzhex]

Hi! I have a problem with dimension scales. You can see in pictures i have scale 1:15.  when i do these first dimensions, then its okay. But when i put other dimensions it doesn't scale. Whats the difference between these and how can it be scaled?

Hi @dzhex 

The first set of dimensions you used are Advance Steel intilligent dimensions, these pick up the scale automatically and take all the information required from the Advance Steel model, so for example if you had clipping in your drawing these take that into consideration.

The second set of dimensions are Plain Autocad dimensions, i would advise never using these in your detailing as they dont take the sacel, clipping etc into consideration

@crydee-AG1 has written a blog on how to use all the Advance Steel dimensions and the click order to achieve the dimensions you want - https://www.graitec.co.uk/blog/entry/a-guide-to-advance-steel-dimensions
