DIMENSIONING IN LAYOUT

DIMENSIONING IN LAYOUT

DIMENSIONING IN LAYOUT

(OP)
HELLO,

ANY HELP THAT YOU GUYS COULD GIVE ME WOULD BE HELPFULL.  I CREATE MY 3D MODEL IN MODEL SPACE.  AFTER DOING THE MODEL I USE PAPER SPACE TO CREATE THE SHOP FLOOR DRAWINGS.  DUE TO THE IRREGULAR SIZES I AM WONDERING IF YOU CAN SET SPECIFIC DIMENSION SCALES TO DIFFERENT LAYOUTS.

THANKS,

JEREMIAH

RE: DIMENSIONING IN LAYOUT

I believe the best way to do this is to define separate dim styles for each page layout, call them 1, 2 etc, for each page, I assume you are using different scales on each layout or else this question would not come up. Use the scale to paperspace so your dimensions are actually what the true values are in model space.  Good luck...
