What is the process when everyone draws equipment diagrams?
Thread Content
I usually draw at a 1:1 scale and then resize the frame to fit the size of the image. But after doing that, I don’t know what the ratio is anymore! I wonder how everyone does it; are there any good methods?
First determine the proportions, then draw the diagram. For larger drawings, create a framework first and establish the proportional dimensions to fit the design
Adjust the scale in CAD? How do you determine the ratio? Can you give an example?
Knowing the scale at which the drawing frame is reduced allows for the conversion to the drawing scale
I’m a bit confused about this. Could you give an example?

Sure: drawing 1:1, no problem
First, draw at 1:1 scale, then resize the image frame
First, draw the diagram at a 1:1 scale, then adjust the size of the drawing frame; if the frame is enlarged by N times, the scale becomes 1:N. Each design organization has its own standard rules regarding scales, so not all drawing frames are suitable for your diagram. Choose drawing frames of sizes A1/A2/A3 that are appropriate for your needs
