All language subtitles for 127 View Scale

This is tutorial number 127 and it covers the view scale with ThinkTAV5.

To start off, open up tutorial part number 127 which is located on the DVD.

Now what we're going to do in this tutorial is I'm going to go over how to scale the drawings that you have.

So what we have is our front, our left, our bottom, and our isometric view along with a detailed view.

Now this detailed view that we have here, right now it's 2 to 1.

Say we want to make it bigger and this is the same with all the drawings that we have.

All you have to do is right click, go to properties, and then in the scale you're able to change it.

So right now the scale is 2 to 1.

Let's make it 3 to 1.

Click OK.

And now our drawing's gotten bigger.

Now if we do it again, go to properties.

Bring this to the side.

Make it 5.

Just click apply and you're able to see how big it is.

So if you want it a 5 to 1, click OK.

Now you've made your scale, you're drawing 5 times as big.

And this goes for all the drawings too.

Let's click on the isometric one and let's make it bigger.

So let's right click, click properties.

Let's make it 2 to 1.

Click OK.

And now we've made our drawing 2 to 1.

Now when you're making your drawings, the front top inside you, they should all be dimension the same.

Sorry, scale to the same scale.

With your isometric, it can be the same or it can be bigger or smaller.

Now the idea for me usually is that whatever space it's able to fill up, I make it that big.

So I think the bigger, the better for an isometric view or a pictorial view because it's there to show you what it should look like all around.

And after you put all your dimensions and tolerances in, showing it exactly as big as it can be, I think is a great help.

So right now it's 2 to 1.

Let's make this one smaller this time.

So let's click properties and we'll change it and make it 1 to 2.

Click OK.

And now it's half the size.

So by using the scale, you're able to scale all your drawings from larger to bigger or bigger to smaller, whatever it may be.

This allows you to utilize the space that you have on your sheet and just as a reminder, whatever your front, left and bottom or your top and side views are.

Make sure that they're all dimension to the same scale. It just keeps everything more consistent and it allows a greater degree of accuracy from your drawings.

And that concludes our tutorial on the Eb scale with Inkitia V5.
