S ca l i n g t h e Drawin g _ A
12. To scale drawing to the right output paper (or PDF) size, I like to create a rectangle that is the same size as the specified paper dimension at 1:1 scale. This is 11� x 17�, which is impossibly tiny. 13. Then, scale the rectangle up to the specified scale. In this case, I am creating a 1:2500 scaled drawing. Scale the rectangle by a factor of 2500, as seen in the screenshot.
