scaling the drawing _ 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.
