Scale output 1:1 (Drawings only)
| |
Enable |
Exports the drawing using a model geometry scale of 1:1 according to your selected base scale. The paper or sheet scale is not normally used when you enable this option.
|
| |
Base scale |
Selects the basis used for the 1:1 scale output of the geometry, based on the various drawing view scales on the sheet. If you have selected a view, the base scale options include the View scale and Count values for the view. Otherwise, the view scale with the highest count is displayed. Count indicates the number of occurrences of this scale in the drawing document. Views are grouped by scale. If you enable 1:1 scaled output, the group with the largest number of views is exported with a 1:1 scale, and the remaining views are scaled correspondingly. If the drawing contains no views, the sheet is exported with a 1:1 scale.
