graphical scale 3/32" = 1'-0"

[Anonymous]

i need to show a graphical scale on autocad for 3/32" = 1'-0" for a drawing. how do I make one and I need to make sure its accurate.

attached is the drawing. at the bottom of the pages for the first, second and basement floors, there is a graphical scale. when I print that out on full size paper (D-size), and when I measure it since its 3/32" = 1'-0", it should measure to three inches I assume, is that correct? if anyone could reply back to this that would be much appreciated. thanks.

Either choose the 3/32" = 1'-0" scale shown in the list. If it's not in the list then you'll need to create it from scratch. It will look like this.

yes I know how to do that. but that's not what im asking for. if you see the second message I put on here, that's what I need

Yes. While in paperspace, 3" should equal 32'-0". The scale bar shown on the PDF however, is only 2.75" (see below).

 

To test, draw a rectangle in paperspace. Make it 3 inches wide and 1 inch tall. Select the rect. Then CHSPACE command. Got to modelspace and measure that rect.

When you are inside the model space view just type: ZOOM 1/256XP

That sets your view zoom to 1 / 256 times the Paper Space.
