![]() ![]() Note for class work normal text height will be 1/8″ or 12 point font size. Therefore the scale factor is equal to 20. Toĭetermine the height to enter text into a drawing use the equation or table shown below.Įquation: Drawing Text Height = Plotted Height x Scale FactorĮxample: You want the plotted text height text height to equal 0.12″ (almost 1/8″ high) and Text entered into an AutoCAD Model space must take the scale factor into consideration. ![]() To find the scale factor for architectural scales a little algebra is used. Once the scale factor is determined you will also use the value to set the DIMSCALE, and LTSCALE (AutoCAD variables).įor engineering scales the scale factor is the same as the scale. A scale factor can be determined based on the scale that the drawing will be displayed at. Refer to Figure 1 to see the differences in scale factors. The size of the object (s) will SCALE UP by that scale factor. This complicates the sizing of text and symbols that are inserted model space must be scaled up. How to scale up in AutoCAD Window select the object (s), type SCALE, and then specify a number larger than 1. Your drawings are always drawn at full scale in AutoCAD’s model space. To ensure your drawing notes, labels and text are legible it is critical that you adhere to the standards of text heights and scales. ![]()
