Toolbar: SYSCAD GENERATING SECTIONS -> bform_16

 

The program SHEET FORMAT 1:1 scales the entire drawing down using the scale factor selected in the menu option FORMAT.

Example:

If the sheet size A0 and the scale factor 1:10 have been selected with FORMAT Format , the A0 drawing has been inserted scaled up with factor 10 (11890, 8410).

So the elevation is drawn on a scale of 1:1 and the profile sections are inserted scaled up with the factor 10.

In order to draw wall connections without converting measurements, the drawing is scaled down again by factor 10 (1189, 841) using the command SHEET FORMAT 1:1 with the factor 10. Then the elevation is on a scale of 1:10 and the sections are on a scale of 1:1.

In order to re-establish the previous status (elevation 1:1 and sections 10:1), please click on FORMAT and select the original sheet size A0 and the scale factor 1:10.
