In these cases, if you'd like your scale bar to display evenly rounded reference numbers (such as 10, 20, and 30 or 20, 40, and 60), you'll need to create a customize scale bar that is configured to show those reference numbers.īefore you can configure your own scale block, you'll need to ensure that you have your scale set correctly in both the Plot Scale dialog box and in Paper Space, and that these scales match each other. Our default scale bar SCALE-01 when placed in a drawing with the scale set to 3/32' = 1' Our default scale bar SCALE-01 when placed in a drawing with the scale set to 1' = 20'īut what about if you need to work in a less nominal scale, such as 3/32'=1'? In this case, our default scale bars will display increments that make mathematic sense for that scale, but aren't necessarily round numbers. If you use a nominal scale, such as 1'=20', 1'=100', etc., the reference numbers will be rounded, logical numbers. They will also include reference numbers for the scale tick marks in increments that make sense for your scale. These 'smart' blocks are configured to adapt to any scale you set in a drawing by displaying that scale. Your installation includes a number of default scale bar blocks to act as a scaling legend in your drawings. Save the Scale Bar Block into Our System.
