Plot Scale and Zoom Scale in RealCAD

Question

I am a little bit confused with the Plot Scale and Zoom Scale in RealCAD / LANDWorksCAD.

What is the difference between Zoom Scale and Plot Scale?

Refers to the actual view of the plan you are drawing.

If your Zoom Scale is set to 1:1, then you are drawing using ‘real measurements’.

Other Zoom Scale examples are 1:20, 1:100…

The Zoom Scale is very useful also when printing completed plans to different scales.

Plot Scale refers to the size of the texts and dimensions on your screen.

Plot Scale is generally set 1:100, although you can easily change that under View Commands > Change Plot View

Both Zoom Scale and Plot Scale can be modified easily depending on your specific needs.
