Scale

[xjfswit]

I'm used to drawing only in ModelSpace rather than PaperSpace. I start a drawing with a template in the paper size with a frame in Modelspace. So I want the AutoCAD could have a function that can change the input according to the scale. e.g. the drawing scale is 1:4, when I input @12,4, AutoCAD can convert it into @3,1. And I hope this scale function can be added to UCS command. Could it be realized?

Yes,I know well how to use Paperspace/Modelspace. Just I don't use Paperspace usually,and have worked all right only in Modelspace. If scale function can be add to AutoCAD,I think it will make AutoCAD more choice and more handy.

I think it can be realized not quite difficultly. e.g. If AutoCAD has a function that parse input line ,the transfer relative to drawing scale can be done in there. Or be done in function that translate text to number

Is this a Wish List Item or a new thread asking the same question as the thread you started in the Software (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=117) Forum -

If a Wish List Item, I will leave here.

If asking the same question, I will delete this thread. Why? -

You are responsible as a Moderator. I'm a freshman in here and feel sorry if I trouble you.
I wish AutoCAD have the function what I describe,but maybe it's I haven't found it. And I think it's a scheme of drawing using CAD software and worth discussing.
You have the right on how to deal with it, I would not mind. And you are helping me as I'm unfamiliar.

Hi

There really is no need for the sorry.

So this is a Wish List Item, therefore I will leave the thread here.

Have you checked out the links offered in thread Scale (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=8033) (Software Forum (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=117))?

Hope you don't mind me asking here -

Are you totally happy in your own mind how Paperspace / Modelspace works?

There is a command in Express that can change drawing objects from paper to model and viceversa. The command is "chspace". It may work for you.
