1:1

|

A 1 inch x 1 inch box prints at the same scale
(1 inch x 1 inch). |
1:1

|
2:1

|

A 1 inch x 1 inch box prints as a 2 inch x
2 inch box, even though the dimension values remain the same. (Conversely,
if you set the custom scale to 1:2, the box prints at 0.5 inches x 0.5
inches.) |
1:2

|
1:1

|

A 1 inch x 1 inch box prints as a 1 inch x
1 inch box. However, only one-fourth of the drawing sheet prints because
the drawing is zoomed in to get the box to the 1:1 scale. |
D-Landscape 1:1

|
A-Landscape 1:1

|

A 1 inch x 1 inch box prints as a 1 inch x
1 inch box because the drawing sheet scales are the same. However, only
one-eighth of the drawing sheet prints because an A-Landscape sheet is
one-eighth the size of a D-Landscape sheet. |
