PLOTTINGSCALE

ISODRAFT Reference Manual


Function:	Defines the scale of the plot independently of the drawing sheet size.
Description:	By default, the actual size of the plotted drawing sheet generated by ISODRAFT is the same as the designed sheet size specified by the SIZE command. The user can specify a plotted sheet smaller than the designed sheet by using the PLOTTINGSCALE command followed by a percentage scaling factor in the range 50‑100%.
Examples:	PLOT 70.71 Applied to an A2 drawing, will create an A3 plot (70.71 = 1/Ö2 expressed as a percentage). This can be useful if, for example, the user want the drawing layout provided for an A2 plot, but the user wants output from an A3 plotter. PLOT 50 Applied to an A1 drawing, will create an A3 plot.
Command Syntax:	>--- PLOTtingscale value ---> where value represents a percentage scaling factor in the range 50‑100%. The default is 100.
