Re: How do I change the scale to 1/8=1'0"? Use the following instructions if you don't know how to convert a scale of the form 1/4"=1' to the value expected in the Scale field of the page setup pane: a 1/x scale tells how much 1 unit on the paper is in the real world, as well as a 1/4"=1' scale tells a fourth of an inch on the paper is 1 foot in the real world. Thus, a 1/100 scale means 1Â cm on paper =Â 100Â cm =Â 1Â m in the real world, but also means 1 inch on paper =Â 100Â inches =Â 8'4" in the real world. To convert a scale like 1/4"=1' where the value at left of the equal sign isn't 1 and/or doesn't use the same unit as the value at right of the equal sign, convert the two values in the smallest unit, then divide the value at right by the value at left. For a 1/4" = 1' scale, converting to inches will give 1/4"=12", then dividing 12 by 1/4 will give 48, for an equivalent scale of 1/48. I'm terrible at math, and this threw me off. So, do I do 1/8"=1', converting to inches will give 1/8"=12", then dividing 12 by 1/8 will give 96, for 1/96? Again I'm terrible at math and need someone to double check this for me, if you could let me know if this is right or wrong I'd be most grateful. Thank you for your time. |
