You can increase the relative scale of your dim texts (see Dim Styles), or you can dimension in the paperspace (layout) to keep your dimensions independent on model scale, or you can use a text style with fixed height.]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=377&PID=1742&title=need-help#1742 <![CDATA[Need help : Hello, I am trying to print...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=377&PID=1732&title=need-help#1732 Author: blackdog

Hello,
         I am trying to print a drawing (backyard deck plans) that I made with acad2008 to my HP deskjet. When the drawing is reduced the dimensions text is also reduced (so small can't read). How do I print the drawing but end up with a legible font size when printed?

Why not just keep the drawing in millimeters and then when you need to dimension, change the dimstyle scale factor? Or, if you're just doing a "dist" (distance) command in autocad, you simply move the decimal place to the right 3 places. Millimeters, and metric for that matter, is so simple and easy to work with, there's no real need to change the scale of the drawing.

Scale the drawing globally - use the SCALE command, select all objects and enter the scale factor.]]> Sat, 12 Jan 2008 17:03:39 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=377&PID=897&title=need-help#897 <![CDATA[Need help : thanks .. each time i have to...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=377&PID=896&title=need-help#896 Author: anilnavis

You can either just set a multiplication factor in your dimension style, or scale down your drawing 1000x (SCALE command, 0.001).]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:52:15 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=377&PID=866&title=need-help#866 <![CDATA[Need help : Hello i am new autocad i am using...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=377&PID=865&title=need-help#865 Author: anilnavis
