drawing scale when in paperspace mode

Dawn Dy's Photo Dawn Dy 07 Apr 2014

good day,

i just want to know how do you scale the drawings when in paperspace mode? usually in Autocad, after creating a viewport, we click the scale setting located on the lower right of the command line to set the scale of the layout or we input the scale throught the zoom command and using 1/1xp...both seems not to be working with nanocad. the help section doesn't mention it either and seems to indicate that you scale the drawing in modelspace mode.

hope i approached the right avenue and you can help me with this. thank you for the consideration as a beta tester but i have decline at the moment, i am not a heavy cad user.

Hello,

1. You can set the scale of viewport in Inspector:
select the existing viewport, find in Inspector: Standart scale, select the necessary.

2. You can set the scale when create the viewport:
AddRectangleViewport - Insert Rectangular Viewport
Enter viewport option [Save/Restore/Delete/1/2/3/4/Object/Polygonal/REctangular/Fit/ON(off)/Lock(unlock)/Clip/]<1> RE
Input or choose view scale <Paper> or [Extents/Active<0.004095>/Paper<1.000000>/]: 1:1
Viewport with desired scale is created.

3. You can zoom the scale of existing viewport:
Double click on the viewport, then zoom by mouse wheel.
