Setting the drawing scale

You can choose a preset or custom drawing scale to relate distances in a drawing to realworld distances. For example, you can specify that one inch in the drawing corresponds to one meter in reality. A preset drawing scale lets you set a typical scale, such as 1:2 or 1:10, while a custom drawing scale lets you set any distance on the page equal to a realworld distance. For example, you can set a more accurate, precise scale that includes decimal numbers, such as 4.5 to 10.6.

Drawing scales are particularly useful if you are creating a technical or architectural drawing with dimension lines. For information about dimension lines, see “Drawing flow and dimension lines” on page 59.
