print with scale

Post by bobble3 »

Hi all,
I'm trying to print my home plan, I need to print it at a 1:50 or 1:100 scale.
I try to export to .csv or .svg but once converting to .dxf or .dwg format files, and reading them with other third party tool the result was horrible.

anyone who could please suggest if/how is it possible to print the 2D plan with a precise scale?

I don't have a professional printer but I suppose that once I have the right file in my hand I can go to a shop that makes professional print services for architect and do it.

tanks in advance

Menu: File -> Page Setup...
Click on Footer or Header and You will see few icons (8) activated on Variables:
The 3-rd is Insert plan scale.
You can add personal text in front or after scale.
Verify the result in File -> Print Preview...
