Hi,
V5
Model space scale I have just noticed is 1:10
No wonder whenever I create say text 0.2inch tall I end up entering height 0.02inch.
why is that scale defaulted to 1:10 ?
Steve
Hi anyone ?
I just came to add some dimensions 0.2inch tall and have to choose height 0.02inch.
default seems to be 1:10 scaling.

It’s also worth noting you can always click that “Edit…” button above there and set the scaling to whatever you desire.
What is the theory behind the default being 1:10 so 0.2inch text is 0.02inch ?
As I have these custom dims in use on many projects if I alter it now to 1:1 will that cause mayhem when opening an existing file or pasting items between files ?
Steve
The theory is it’s an arbitrary default. Also, that the people most often interested in 2D drawings are working on large things like buildings and ships–I know I only deal with them under duress–so 1:1 model space dimensions would be unreadable.
