I have converted a PDF to DWG and the scale is out, what's the best way to scale it back to its original size?
Scale by Reference? This option works ok but no measurement seems to be spot on apart from the item you used for the scale reference.
I used the program 'Any PDF to DWG Converter' and the drawing scale in the title block is 1:50.
New Responsive Scaling feature is great.
It's enabled me to add an Edge Animate file to my responsive Wordpress site using the Edge Suite Plugin.
Only problem for me is that although the 3.7MB file I’ve created scales perfectly on all devices it struggles to play on smartphones. (I assume it's too big and too power hungry to play smoothly on smartphones - even since I've added a pre-loader.)
So, in an ideal world, what I need is a separate low res Edge Animate file that only plays on smartphones.
Failing that, I’d be happy with a 'Down-level Stage' image which could replace the Edge Animate animation.
For a moment I thought I’d found a solution when I came across this Adobe TV movie: [URL]
Unfortunately this clever solution only works when the new Responsive Scaling feature is NOT selected. As soon as it is selected, the animation no longer changes from one layout size to another when the browser window is reduced.
I don’t mind whether the fix is in Edge Animate, Wordpress or the Edge Suite Plugin - I just want a solution!
We are designing some web graphics for a friend. By "we" I mean me and a guy who lives on the opposite coast.
He did the initial page layout/design as a PhotoShop tif, at 300 dpi, in layers and about 5 inches wide. The idea, on his end, was that it would be a small file size and, therefore, faster to download on my end. With me so far?
Anyway, I'm suppose to convert it to 800 ppi wide, 72 dpi, jpg. Sounds easy enough. Or not Do all the scaling and now the graphics don't look right. None of the layer effects are right!
How do I scale his graphic, for my purposes and, once it's the size I need it, have everything look the way he created it?
Example: Text at that 5 inch wide, 300 dpi size with a one point stroke on it looked find when the graphic was 5 inch wide and 300 dpi, but at 800 ppi wide and 72 dpi, it's all wrong
Is there a preference or something I should be clicking somewhere and I'm just missing it?
I'm having problems on setting my scaling up in dwg1 that was sent to me. dwg1 did not have any viewports set up. dwg2 has a scale of 1''=20' I need to set up dwg1 to 1 to 1 first, this is my master drawing,

My question is, on A4 paper my 1 drawing unit : 1 mm scale plots perfectly. But obviously if I were to compare that scale to real life, it would not be 1:1. How do I figure out the scaling on the viewport to compare to real life?

Also different question. If i want to print on paper roll and the one dimension of my drawing is 297 (A3) and the other dimension is undifined how can i set the paper size? Because under the drop down menu paper size the sizes are all fixed.
I am working on a drawing that started life as a dxf file from a client. I am having problems with the scale of hatching in that whilst I might normally do a line hatch at a scale of 25 to get the same spacing I now have to set the scale to 650.
Initially I had a problem that the scaling in viewports was also wrong but I sorted that one out but I cannot find how to reset the hatch scale to my normal setting.
I am also finding that when hatching it seems to find gaps in lines that it would not normally do. Even after I have filleted all the corners the hatch still in some cases 'spills out'. The measuring and dimensioning tools are all working correctly and show the correct figures.
I'm trying to scale down 3D drawings but when I use the 3DSCALE command the perspective gets distorted. Is there a way I can scale my drawing without messing up the perspective?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe receive site survey dwgs generated in Civil 3D that contain 3D topos with elevation tags. The elevation tags are clearly scalabe anno objects that scale correctly in the received civil dwg. The elevation tags won't scale correctly in our dwgs - they come in too small to see.
- Both dwg's have units set to decimal.
- I tried copying / pasting the viewport from the civil dwg to our dwg and the text is still too small. This tells me it's a dwg specific variable and not a viewport setting.
- I have Civil 3D object enabler installed, though I don't think this has any bearing.
It would be nice to use the original tags and not have to re-create every elevation tag.
I am having problems to scale 2d objects I use the command scale but when it request a base point it said "extremely small scale factor ignored" I have to do this 5 or 6 times until the command works.
The other thing is that I can not do a 1 dimension scale in 2D.
I am trying to print on a 3d printer and seem to have a bit of a scaling issue with inventor 2012. I saved the .stl file in the same units but still get a scaling issue. Under options when I save it shows a 1:1 scale as well as the correct units.
When printing a .stl file from another computer that has inventor 10 installed we do not have this issue. Seems to be something with the files from 2012.
This is in Acad 2013. This wasn't happening last week, and I don't know what changed. I have a small drawing file with a few point blocks with attributes and some lines I'm trying to insert into a main drawing. I've made sure that both files are set to "unitless" in the following variables:
INSUNITS = 0
INSUNITSDEFSOURCE = 0
INSUNITSDEFTARGET = 0
I've run SCALELISTEDIT on both files and reset them to "metric and imperial scales", and saved both files. The base points in both drawings are 0,0,0. Both files are in the WCS.
I've run audit on both files. I've run purge in the main drawing to make sure it doesn't already contain a definition of the small drawing. I've rebooted the PC and restarted acad.
When I insert the small drawing into the main drawing, the points come in at the correct coordinates. But the lines connecting them and the point block attributes are scaled up by 39.3700787400 and are far away.
How can i scale a block have some attributes , with known factor ?

When I upload a drawing from the internet I save it as a wblock.when I insert it into my exixsting drawing it is not scaled to the same dimensions as the rest of the drawing.
I change the units to the same as the drawing befeore I save it as Wblock. But Im still having this Problem.
I created a block w/ attributes for my border and saved it for future use on other drawings. But when I insert it, even if the units are the same the blocks I inserted scaled smaller than the actual border that i wanted it to be.

I've this
BlockReference br = (BlockReference)obj as BlockReference; br.ScaleFactors = new Scale3d(0.5, 0.5, 1);
Everything is ok, lines, circles, etc. in block are scalling correctly.
But I have problem with attributes (look at the image) - attributes are not scaling and their position are not correct.
Simple command ("scale") is working OK
We are having some issues with title block scaling when importing them from the design center. Some people have this problem whilst others have had no problem at all or only in the past and this has since stopped.
Layout Template.jpg
The image above shows an example of the problem. The Layout basically appears 25.4 times larger than the paper itself (the paper is at the bottom left). This would indicate something is wrong with the insertion scale.
The drawing containing the title blocks is in millimeters and the drawings which it is being inserted to are in a mixture of millimeters, inches, or unitless. I have checked the insertion scale settings within options and both Source and Target units are set to millimeters for users that have this problem and users that don't.
I know a quick fix is to just select that block and scale it by 0.03937 (1/25.4).
I created objects and extruded them and then I adding materials from the Autocad 2011 material library. I added brick to a wall and I was wondering what command I would have to type in to "scale" the brick size or just have a way so that the material will appear larger on the object because the bricks are quite small.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a project and ran into some complications. I have an object that I would like to scale the length down, but leave the height and width as they are. I read around and found out I can use block and use that to scale the object. however, once I used block I was not able to use the Boolean operators to subtract from the newly scaled object. If I hold my mouse over the object, it is a called a block reference.
My question is, is there a way to change the y-dimension but still be able to play around with the object?
Most of my design work requires me to xRef an existing title block to my paperspace and vport my drawing into my titleblock in paperspace. However, when I attach my titleblock using xRef into my paperspace, the scaling went totally out. Mostly my block comes out way bigger than it is suppose to. The problem is that I have set my designs and block to function in milimeters, so basically it should scale down to the same scale right?
And also, it's quite troublesome to keep going back to my titleblock dwg to edit/save and reload it back in my design. Is there anyway to explode the xRef titleblock? Every time I tried they keep saying its an external reference. Is there any way to go around this so I can edit it without going back and forth?
I have a dynamic block for my concrete blocks to speed up section drawing. The only dynamic property is I can reduce the height of the block down from 215mm to whatever size I need.
I am sectioning a wall that is at 70 degrees to the line of my section and to make it look right I have changed the x scale to 1.15 to give the right perspective. I now notice that the blocks have lost their dynamic properties, is this because I have fiddled with the scale? The other block wall is still OK .
I am working from a drawing in model space (previously drawn by a client) and I have imported it into model space, working in 1:1.
I am now trying to view my work in paper space - the problem i am having is that i now need to scale this drawing. Most of the scales i will be working with are either A1 1:50 or A3 1:100.
I have read some previous posts and can see that i need to be amending the page setup on the layout tabs - if i select paper A1 and customise the scale to 0.02 (1:50), will that then automatically scale any viewport I insert into that layout?
Or do I need to still scale the viewport (as well as the page setup) that I insert and if so. How to scale it so that the viewport doesnt look minute or massive?
We have recently been upgraded to Autodesk Map 3D where I work which when we first got it was a big improvement from what we were running. When I first started using the programme I found the lovely little box in the bottom right hand corner where you can change the view scale.
This allowed me, when in paper space, to double click in a viewport then click the drop down arrow next to the Viewscale box, select custom and then type in the scale I wanted (i.e. if 1:200 I typed 200 then hit ok).
However all of a sudden I am no longer able to do this. When I press ok, nothing changes. There are no error messages or any message. It appears to disregard the command. There is also a closed padlock next to this which when hovered over gives the discription "click to link/unlink AutoCAD Map 3D stylisation while zooming". I am unable to unlock this by clicking on it, the padlock seems protected almost so I am wondering if this is my problem?
If I used millimeters as my UNITS, how can I scale them when plotting it into A1 or A0? How will I know the scale that I will use in Layout tab so that it will fit on the paper that I will used?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I type in the command "SC" for scaling the object, it'll asks me to specify base point then I can enter what scale I want it to be, such as 2 times or 0.5 for half sacle.
with the new 2013 version, sometimes it'll exit the command if I select the insertion point of the block or if the object is at the 0,0,0 location of the drawing. it'll also give a message of "the scaling factor is too small". But I haven't enter what scale I want to scale the object yet.
