Have not been able to find help about how to add a scale Bar (and a North Arrow) into a layout view for a project (for print). I am making maps and I would like to add some reference in my printed version.
Any ideas? Thanks!
PS: I am using VisualARQ that offers a scale bar in the viewports but does not show in layout. I have been doing screen shots because of the lack of a scale bar
In Model Space, the scale bar is a display feature that is painted on top of the viewport. I guess you will have to create actual geometry (of the scale bar and north arrow) for it to be visible (and printable) on your layout. @enric or @fsalla can probably shed more light.
Yes, as @wim has pointed out, the VisualARQ scale icon is just a display feature and it is not printed. I’ve created an entry in our wish list for a future VisualARQ update.
In the meantime, you can create the geometry yourself. Moreover, if you know how to use Grasshopper, you can create a VisualARQ annotation style that generates this object: https://www.visualarq.com/features/grasshopper/styles/
Hello. My question/request is only slightly related. Would it be possible to add a north arrow next to the viewport scale bar? I often exchange screenshots of my plan views with my co-workers and as well as external parties. I use c planes and _Plan a lot so there’s no way to know where north is in the screenshot.
