Set the Plot Scale
 
 
 

Generally, you draw objects at their actual size. When you plot the drawing, you can either specify a precise scale or fit the image to the paper. To specify a scale, enter either a standard or custom plot scale.

To enter a standard scale, first set the UseStandardScale property to TRUE. You can then enter the desired scale using the StandardScale property.

To enter a custom scale, first set the UseStandardScale property to FALSE. You can then enter the custom scale using the SetCustomScale method.

When you are reviewing an early draft view, a precise scale is not always important. You can use the acScaleToFit value of the StandardScale property to plot the layout at the largest possible size that fits the paper.
