AutoCad :: How To Rescale The Background
Apr 25, 2012
I'm coming from corel draw to autocad. I'll be making 2D templates for consturction. I make the molds so they're inside out. anyways... I'm a full newbie in acad so I had some questions
how do I scale the background so that it's not in hundreds of feet? I work with very small small. usually 96x48 inches. sometimes I'll draw circles with about radius of 100-300 but then will cut them to get only about 60 degrees of it...
How to rescale the background so it's within my range and not in a size that's meant to design a whole house?

When you try to rescale a layer using the Rescale Tool with a layer mask active, it scales of the mask, likewise if you select the layer it will scale the layer. Can I select both the layer and layer mask and scale the layer, thus it keeps the layer mask showing the desired masked area only. As the only way I can see currently is by applying the layer mask on the layer and then you can see the layer/s below to get the scaling that is desired. But I would like to keep the layer mask active for editing after scaling.

I receive a 1 kilometer wall plane, because its so long the architect change the aspect ratio x10 times less the real length. Now to engineer it I need to rescale it to be 1 to 1.
If I use the method of converting it to a block by changing the X property, all the text goes massy.
I don’t know how to tackle it. Is there a way to rescale the geometry without effecting the text on the way? If I didn’t mention it….i need the text to be in the perspective position so I can’t just hide it.
I attach the file for a case

Two different plot settings (saved as page setups) will produce different results for exactly the same 34"x22" output. I have been bucking this problem since I started using AutoCAD C3D. I have a program to adjust the label scaling of my point labels so they are readable in both model space and layouts and when non-raster plotters are used, but now I must adapt it for other C3D labels before I can use them.
Below is my setup for plotting ANSI-D (34"x22") TIFF files at 288dpi. I have been using this plot device and setup almost exclusively since about 2001. The output is 9792 pixels x 6336 pixels which is set as a custom paper size to match my 288 dpi resolution (it is 288dpi because that is a multiple of 72dpi which is the default resolution of AutoCAD's TIFF raster output. It is 72dpi regardless of the fact that the plot scale is specified as 288 pixels = 1 unit or 288dpi). I must reset the dpi to 288 using image software so the resulting PDF will have a size of 34"x22" instead of 136"x88". You can see in the preview output I captured that their size difference cannot be attributed to these size differences. The plots are of the exact same layout showing point labels with only the page setup changed.

how to get Autodesk to address or even acknowledge this label scaling error?

Say I have many rounds disks distributed in a square.
When I select them all and resize the "container" to a rectangle, I get the disks reshaped into ellipses.
How can I prevent this and maintain them round while resizing the container?

I am working on a tut and it calls for the use of a Pixel Mask.However, once I get through it I plan to use the resulting image at various sizes.I am creating the image w/a canvas size of 425px by 200px and the object itself is roughly 155px by 45px (give or take a pixel or so).
I then plan to scale it down to various sizes and so my question is will the Pixel Mask cause a problem with artifacts and interpolated bluriness?ie, will saving for the web at smaller sizes cause a problem with the clarity?

Is it possible to rescale a lot of objects without simultaneously rescaling the distance between them? I have about 500 circles, all .3cm diameter, that I'd like to change to .4 diameter, while retaining the positions of their centres?

Is it possible to "virtually" rescale layers in the Gimp? Or is this planned? Because it would be an awesome feature.
What I mean is this: When you "virtually" rescale a layer, everything behaves as if it were a normal layer rescale operation, but internally the GIMP remembers the original image size. This means if I change my mind later and want to resize again (make it bigger for example), I don't lose quality. Or is this maybe already be possible somehow and has evaded me?

Discovered gimp tonight however I seem to be facing the same problem. I am creating a new logo for work, I will go through the details in a moment, but each time I increase the scale size and it visually increases on screen, when it prints it is the same small size. The origins of the image are from Microsoft Office through SmartArt, I created what was needed, took a print of the screen moved into paint to open then cropped and saved it as a jpg. I then dragged it into gimp. I should also mention that within the original SmartArt (it is a circle of 4 globes) there is another jpg of our logo. I just don't understand why it is not printing the larger image on my screen.

i create a pattern with the pattern maker, fill a square with the pattern swatch and rescale it, i always get thin lines inbetween the tiles. It is definately correctly aligned, and when i print it, you can see them too. I tried as well expanding the object, to enable "align to pixel grid" in the transform panel, I tried to uncross "anti-aliased artwork" under general preferences, i don't know what else I could do.

I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.
I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.

I have some text documents in PDF format and would like to edit it in photoshop CS5, but each time I open them up in photoshop, the background seems to be transparent (tiny grey and white tiles), which is very eye tiring when editing/annotating with a wacom pen, how to fill the background total white?

I recently saw on TV that someone had 2 nearly identical images - one with just the background, another one from exactly the same point of view featuring an object before the background.
He was then able to subtract the background so only the object in front remained. Is that possible with Photoshop as well? I have version CS3.

I was asked to cut out the background from a logo to make it transparent so the logo would look nice on a variety of backgrounds. I've been given a good quality jpeg file.
What I did was I selected (by colour) the background (white), inverted the selection, copied it and pasted as a new image.
It's all fine (the logo itself doesn't have any other elements) but there's still some whiteish/greyish outline around certain elements of the logo.
If I were to do it manually, it'd probably take ages. What would be the best way to accomplish it?

I want to change a 1920-1080 p background, into a 1920 - 1200 background.
I don't want to re-size it or lose image quality, the background for this can be easily replicated through some simple editing (drawing strait lines with the paint brush tool, and basically filling in to expand the background) Is there a way to do this? Here is the picture I want to change:
[URL].....
I just want it so that the pin-wheel design extends outward as to make the entire image 1920-1200, rather then the 1920-1080 it is now. (without losing image quality of the center wheel.)

I created a named view and assigned an image with sky as a background. I can't understand why rendering gives the result as seen on 1st pic.
Originally without any image in background with sun and sky (sky status: 2) rendering was as seen on 2nd pic.

I just upgraded to AutoCAD LT 2012. I am having a problem with background jpg's disappearing when you pan. It comes back once you stop but it really, really annoying. I have to trace drawings off of jpg's and I have to do a lot of panning. It didn't use to do this in AutoCAD 2010. Ohh I am doing this in Model space. Is there a new setting or something that I don't know about.

Currently in AutoCAD LT 2013, was in 2000. In 2000 I had a drop down menu where I could change the background color. I used it to change the background to white before printing. In this forum I found out how to select monochrome in the print menu and haven't needed to change the background... till now.
When I print to my copier or to PDF the background is white like I wish. Then when I copy from PDF and paste to Word, the image is hazy. If I copy and paste to Paint, the background is black. The most important thing I wish to figure out is how it may be possible to transfer an image from my drawing to the manual I'm building in Word without it being hazy or black background, but I would also like to find how to change the background color.
