Applying a scaling factor
For example, you may want to specify dimensions in kilometers when drawing a map.
You can apply a 1:10,000 scaling factor to kilometers. A line 10cm long on the map is
reported as a dimension of 1km.
1. Choose "Utilities -> Options". If necessary, click the SCALING tab.
2. Select USE SCALE FACTOR.
3. Type in the appropriate scaling. For example, 10cm to 1km.
Alternatively, type 1 into the drawing field and 10,000 into the real-world field.
Deleting a scaling factor
This is similar to applying scaling:
1. Choose "Utilities -> Options". If necessary, click the SCALING tab.
2. Deselect "USE SCALE FACTOR".
3. Click "OK".
