The cardinal rule of AutoCAD is that everything you draw in model space should be drawn to FULL size no matter what the object is.  You could be drawing a paperclip one day and an ocean liner the next it doesn't matter to AutoCAD.  Scale should only come into play when you switch to your paper space layout and create a viewport.  It is the viewport that gets a scale assigned to it.]]> Sat, 07 May 2011 12:28:13 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5835&PID=15121&title=hi-all-help-please#15121 <![CDATA[Hi all.
