learning how to use CADintosh
Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2004 1:11 pm
I'm having trouble with some basics, scale to begin with. I'm used to
drawing by hand with an architects scale. If I want my drawing to be
printed at the scale of 1 inch = 1 foot, what should I set the
CADintosh drawing scale to (below the entry line), and the unit of the
complete drawing from the Options-Drawing menu?
I'm also unclear on how to select the area for printing. It seems
choosing between "Select print area with page" and "Select print area
with window" gives me 2 different sized prints.
I've done the introduction and read through the Users Guide, but have
not found answers to my difficulties. I don't have a great familiarity
with computer drafting programs so perhaps my questions may seem naive.
Please let me know if this is inappropriate for this form.
Thanks, Michael
