As a new user to AutoCAD LT 2023, I have found this video invaluable. I have been trying to find an answer to this question for sometime. I have had some training on AutoCAD from a work colleague, I have found it a little difficult to pick up. This video, almost exactly does what I need, enabling me to understand the overall scale of a drawing from a PDF import, thank you so much. You now have a new subscriber as a result of your now six year old video! I only hope that when I fire up autoCAD, 2023 in the morning, I’m able to find the commands you used, as mine is a much newer version from the one which you demonstrated. Hopefully not too much is changed. Brilliant video thank you so much.

I liked the extra detail, that really helped me understand the program more than just a step by step that i am likely to forget later. Which is partly why I keep having to look scaling up on youtube in the first place.

The reason your measurements may seem off by 1mm is because the PDF dimensions are rounded off to 5, if you notice all dimensions round off to 0 or 5. so your scaling is correct and the PDF dimensions are rounded.

If I need to get a quick and dirty layout I use google maps. I print screen including the scale, import it into CAD then scale the google image using a reference line. It makes general layouts and estimates pretty easy and gives you a good idea of the footprint of a project.

Nice video, I use reference on just one dim that I find in a drawing and that works for me but I do have a problem sometimes when I convert PDF’s to dwg. Some behave normally and are a pleasure to work with and some behave badly and by that I mean I can put the crosshairs over one of the lines of the drawing and suddenly it freezes momentarily. What causes that?
@CADandStuff4 жыл бұрын
Not sure. I haven’t seen that happening myself. Could it be a RAM issue? Or do you have graphics acceleration turned on (which, ironically, can cause glitches)?
@TheMoochinabout4 жыл бұрын
I believe graphics acceleration is on. The next time it happens I will turn it off and see if that changes things. What about hidden dimensions or unused dimensions? Would/could that cause freezing?
@CADandStuff4 жыл бұрын
Perhaps. You could try purging the drawing. Make a copy of the original first, though, just in case you lose stuff you want to keep.

I dont think you should expect the pdf to perfectly match the new autocad transferred copy since pdf is finite and not by numbers. For example you cam zoom in on the pdf in autocad until the thickness of the lines cover half the screen. Given that, autocad can determine anywhere within that thick line to use as a snap point, resulting in varying but very proximate dimensions. Great tutorial though, didnt know autocad could do that. They are worth the price tag. Would save a lot of time, even if you had to offset everything to exact measurements.

If the drawing is converted into dwg from PDF then we don't have control in which sense???
@CADandStuff5 жыл бұрын
Well, in the sense that unless you've generated the PDF yourself, you can't be sure that it was plotted to scale properly. If you know that the PDF is good, then that's fine. But what if someone else made the PDF and just sent it to you? And what of it's in metres or imperial, and you want to use millimetres? In that case you have no control over what the PDF is using and scaling it to suit your needs is necessary.

how to scale in x and y direction with a different value
@CADandStuff5 жыл бұрын
Hi. As far as I know, the only way to control X and Y scales separately is when inserting an object into a drawing, such as a block or an xref. Depending on what you're trying to draw, the simplest way might be to draw the object, convert it to a block, and then insert that block into the drawing. As part of the insert command, you can set the scales along each axis (including Z). Hope that helps.

@noahmoreau53257 жыл бұрын
I only watched the first four minutes of the video but I gathered that you would scale the whole section of the drawing to meet the required distance. In my case I had a measured length of 48.27 in autocad and the actual length of 387.8 in the field. You would divide the actual length and the measured length giving 387.8/48.27 = 8.033975554. I then proceeded to highlight the drawing and scale it by a factor of 8.033975554. When I look at the new measurement for the line it is now 387.8 and I have the proper scale for my drawing.
