Scale the Drawing to Fit the Page
When you review drafts, a precise scale is not always important. You can use
the Fit to Paper option to plot the view at the largest possible size that fits the
paper. The height or width of the drawing is fit to the corresponding height
or width of the paper.
When you select the Fit to Paper option, the text boxes change to reflect the
ratio of plotted units to drawing units. This scale is updated whenever you
change the paper size, plotter, plot origin, orientation, or size of the plotted
area in the Plot dialog box.
NOTE This option is not available when the Plot Area is set to Layout.
To plot using a real-world scale
1 Click Output tab Plot panel Plot.
2 In the Plot dialog box, under Plot Scale, select a scale from the Scale box.
3 Click OK to plot the drawing.
To plot using a custom scale
1 Click Output tab Plot panel Plot.
2 In the Plot dialog box, under Plot Scale, enter a custom scale. The scale
requires two values, the number of plotted units (inches or mm) per the
number of drawing units. The type of unit is determined by the paper
size, but you can change it in the list box.
