I received a file and I can not seem to figure out which scale is being used.
I assume the given measurements are in mm
I have two issues.
I want the file to have a scale of 1:100.
Should I divide all the given measurements by 10?
Furthermore, how do I produce a pdf of the upper left corner which has the requested scale of 1:100?
Click on this thread & go through the steps to determine exactly what you have:
But looking at the pdf you provided, right away I see a dimension on a door width = 1780.
If this drawing is done using 1 unit = 1 mm then when you use the DIST command to measure the door width it'll return 1780. Then if you want to PLOT from Model tab, you just Window the area and enter scale as 1 mm = 100 unit.
But if this drawing is done using 1 unit = 1 Meter, then when you use the DIST command to measure the door width it'll return 1.780 assuming the decimal precision under the UNITS command is set as 3 and not less or more.
Then if you want to PLOT from Model tab, you just Window the area you want to plot and enter scale as 1 mm = 0.1 unit.
