Regarding the setting of the scale for CAD drawings
Thread Content
I’ve been quite confused about this issue. When creating CAD drawings, how should the scale of the graphics be set? For example, if I want to set a model drawing scale of 1:50, how can I do that? And the key is to figure out how, after making the settings, to adjust the annotations, font size, and line thickness so that they fit within the proportions you have set. In other words, it’s necessary to determine the appropriate values for font size and line thickness so that no further adjustments are needed when drawing the graphics, and so that issues such as overly large text or too dense lines do not arise due to improper proportioning. Every time I draw graphics, I find these things quite troublesome.
Find the 2D drawing specifications of any design institute for reference; they are usually already adjusted. I have our engineering regulations here, but in paper form.
The original poster has a great idea! Impressive! You might as well hire someone to draw it! There have been too many discussions on this topic; please check the previous posts!

Copy it verbatim, haha. The Chinese characters are rendered using HZTXT.SHX; the height of these characters is 3.5 mm, and the width coefficient is 0.7 mm. Note (English to Chinese): The height of each Chinese character is 3 mm, and the width coefficient is 0.7 mm. English and numbers use ROMANS.SHX; the default font size is 2.5 and the width factor is 0.7. You need to multiply the font size above by your scale factor; for example, with a 1:50 scale, the actual height of the Chinese characters representing the device name will be 3.5 X 50 = 175 mm
I don’t need printing settings; it’s for drawings in model space； 1 For the graphic, just print it out as it is. But thanks anyway; this is really useful for small diagrams, in A4 format.

Could you provide me with a scanned copy at the key points so I can study it? Thank you
Take a closer look at how reputable design firms do it, and just follow their approach.
It is generally drawn at a 1:1 scale; if it is to be produced at a 1:50 scale, the text needs to be enlarged by 50 times during design.
There should be a global scale and a scale for annotations when setting proportions; I have encountered these difficulties before, and I believe beginners will likely face them as well
The problem you mentioned can be completely and perfectly solved using layout drawing. No proportional conversion is needed. You can look for some information on layout.
