Center of Gravity for Inventor Assemblies.He has also presented classes at Autodesk University since 2003. Jim is a certified Inventor Expert, having been in the first group of people to take and pass the Autodesk Inventor Certified Expert Exam at Autodesk University in 2003. Jim earned BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University. Jim’s broad knowledge base helps him to understand customers’ problems and offer appropriate solutions. So far, I have always been able to choose the paper size, plot area as 'window' and plot scale as desired (1/100 or 1/50 of 1/10) - we draw in the metric system (cm or mm depending whether we draw in general or construction details). From the Field Category drop-down list, choose Objects.
#AUTOCAD PRINT TO SCALE PDF#
He has also taught design classes at the college level. When we plot from model space, we either pick print to pdf or plot directly to our printer. Inside the text editor, right-click and choose Insert Field to open the Field dialog box. Prior to joining Synergis he worked in the consumer electronics and automotive industries as a design engineer, a test engineer, and as a CAD administrator. Jim is Synergis’ Project Manager for Manufacturing Solutions and has been with Synergis since 1997. If you run into trouble or have questions, contact us. Please note that this is a machine setting, so it is available to any drawing opened on this machine. Now the ratio will be available in AutoCAD Mechanical’s Scale drop down lists. To edit the list right click on the list’s name and choose Edit from the pop-up menu.Īdd the desired ratio to the list, such as 1:1219.2, followed by a comma. Which one is used for any given drawing is controlled by the Measurement setting on the AM:Standards tab in the Options dialog box. Two scale lists are shown in the right hand list.
This is done through the AM:Preferences tab of the Options dialog box.Ĭlick on the System button, and expand the Acad/M list.Ĭlick on the Title entry in the left hand list. Its in the Output options at the top of the screen when you click the 'Output' tab. This displays print options below the tab bar at the top of the screen. The AutoCAD Annotative scaling should not be used with AutoCAD Mechanical.Ĭustom symbol scales can easily be added to AutoCAD Mechanical’s symbol list. Its one of the tabs in the tab bar at the top of the screen. Annotative objects were introduced in R2008, while Mechanical’s symbol scaling has been around since before R2000. This isn’t the same as the AutoCAD Annotative objects and their scales. Note: AutoCAD Mechanical uses a drawing variable, AMSYMSCALE, to hold the current scale factor for Power Dimensions, symbols and some other objects.
