To properly scale an image or PDF after inserting into AutoCAD
By:
Support
Issue:
After inserting an image or importing a PDF file, often time the objects and dimensions will not show their "true length" being that the image is not at a 1:1 scale with the actual drawing units.
Solution:
Try one or more of the following to attempt to properly scale the image to the appropriate dimension:
-
Using the ALIGN (Command):
-
Draw a line that is at the proper length (Ex: If the dimension shows 25', draw a line at that length).
-
Type ALIGN into the command line and press Enter.
-
Alternatively one can find this command on the 'Modify' panel on the 'Home' tab in the ribbon.
-
-
Select the image to be scaled and press Enter.
-
Specify the first source point, and then click the corresponding destination point.
-
Specify the second source point, and then click the corresponding destination point.
-
Press Enter to continue.
-
Select Y for 'Yes' to scale the objects based on the alignment points.
-
-
Using the SCALE (Command):
- Type LINE on the command line and press Enter.
- Draw a line that is the desired length the image reference length should be then press Enter. (Ex. a door would be 3'0" so draw a line that is 3'0"). This will be your scaled reference line.
- Select the object to be scaled and type SCALE into the command line and press Enter.
-
Alternatively one can find this command on the 'Modify' panel on the 'Home' tab in the ribbon.
-
-
Click at the base point, then type R for 'Reference'.
-
Click at the first point point again then the second point of the existing image to be sized and type P for 'Point'.
- Click the first point of the referenced line drawn then click the new end point thenEnter.
- Measure the image and it should be the correct desired length.
Note: That the above suggestions work best when you can snap to actual endpoints, intersections, midpoints, and etc. within the image JPG or PDF.
