Title Border Ratio to Drawing Scale

Title Border Ratio to Drawing Scale

Title Border Ratio to Drawing Scale

(OP)
I have been trying to figure this one out, if you guys could shed some light it would be much appreciated.  This is my thought process when it comes to title borders.  At my company we clip the drawing far enough inside the title border so that the information isn't interfering with the drawing.  So I find the scale of the clipping area, usually a box that I have set already.  Then just simply scale the title border up to encompass the clipping area.

Is that right?  If my clipping area is set to print out at 1:500 scale and scale up the title border around my clipping area, does the scale change?  If it does, then I take it I need to find the scale of the title border then just make a clipping area inside of that for my drawing.

Also, when finding the scale of a title border, should I measure from the corner of the print area, because I like to have some white space around my borders.

RE: Title Border Ratio to Drawing Scale

Jsha24,
What we in the Public sector do is reference everything into a sheet file, which contains a title block cell. In the reference tool box there are tools you can use to scale the ref files.
Or
Import the title block cell to scale. If you don't have these items setup within the program, you can find info at any of the State D.O.T.s, City, County most all have VBA programs that scale the stuff for you, and tons of cells.
Regards,
Namdac
