Hi all,
I want to use the B-size drawing template for house plans - I'm doing an addition to my house. I have to do a plot plan (71' x 121') and a floor plan (46' x 26', roughly). Later I'll need to do all kinds of details, possibly in other scales. I'm anticipating 12-16 sheet in the permit package. The scale on the B-size template appears to be 1.0. I want to do the plot plan in 1/8"=1' (96) and the floor plan in 1/4"=1' (48).
How do I set up scales so that I can use feet as the drawing unit for the plot plan and inched for the floor plan, and have each display in the appropriate scale, on the B-size template.
Can I have different scales on different layers?
I don't want to have to do the conversions in my head (or calculator) to deal with three different scales (template, plot, floor plan) in on drawing.
Thanks for any help.
