Scale
I just downloaded Sweet Home last night. I am not using it for home design at the present. What I am trying to do is draw infill walls in an attic space, exterior stairways and other misc. details. Before drawing I would like to set my scale for 3/4" to the foot. How do I do this?

Re: Scale
Scale on screen adjusts to your plan. Zoom in/out with magnifying glasses in toolbar or Ctrl+Mouse wheel. Print scale is set in File-Page setup. ok

Re: Scale
That isn't a lot of help when I want to create a new drawing! If you can't set a scale before starting a drawing what use is it in the field?

Re: Scale
1 - Go to File -> Preferences, select the measurement system you want.
2 - Make your drawing. A line 1 unit long, now has a length of 1 millimeter/centimeter/inch/foot. When using feet/inches, make sure to type ' or ".
3 - Go to File -> Page setup and set the scale to 1:16. If you now print your drawing, the measurements on the print should be 3/4 inch to 12 inch. (12 / 0.75 = 16)

Re: Scale
Larry, when you draw a wall or the side of a room the program will indicate you the length of what you draw. The default scale at screen is 2 cm per pixel, but as you don't know the size of a pixel, this won't help.
