I need to set the scale 1:100 (for a planning app) but I also need the scale attaching to the printed drawing I apologise if im not being clear enough
absolutel complete beginner, the drawing has already been done, I want to print it onto A3 paper at 1:100 scale (or 1:50), but I need to show the scale on the printed document. The original drawing is a 3d dwg file if that helps ?
Hi @sean.birdsall,
I assume that you are drawing with your drawing units set to MM. If you have drawn your 3D model at 1:1 (real world size) then the scale should be simple.
Click on a layout. Create a Page Setup for the layout that indicates a paper size of A3, area to plot=Layout, Scale=1:1.
Then, Set this Page Setup to be current. The white area now represents a real world A3 size piece of "paper". Create a viewport that fits on this piece of paper. Double-click in the viewport and select a scale from the Scalelist (bottom right of screen) that sets the scale at 1:50 or 1:100.
Do these steps resolve your issue or are you trying to insert a bar scale into your file to show the scale? I usually insert the bar scale in paperspace (especially in a 3D environment).

Yes Im at least now able to print it to scale, burt I still need to add the bar scale to it , I just cant seem to find it ?
Hi @sean.birdsall,
I suggest simply creating your own standard barscale block as one is not shipped in the package.Here is one attached that might get you started.

Ok I now have a scaledf drawing and no matter how many times I try to add the scale bar to it I am having absolutely no success at all, and I have followed every step carefully, any ideas anyone ?
Hi @sean.birdsall,
Are you not able to insert the scale into paperspace?
Since your model is a 3D representation, you will fight a bit orienting a scale bar in modelspace.
