grace3010 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I am new to Vectorworks and am having an issue with scaling the viewport/sheet layers. When I am in the Design Layer the scale is correct, but when I create the viewport the scale shows 1:20, but the whole viewport shows as being about 30' wide per the ruler. It doesn't seem to want to be 1:1 scale on the sheet layer. Do you know how I can fix this? I have set up the page to be 30"x42" landscape, but the page is always tiny compared to the viewport.

Bryan G. Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The sheet layer is 1:1 and you set your view ports to the desired scale. Quote Link to comment
grace3010 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 For some reason the viewport is not scaling correctly, is there a way to troubleshoot it? Quote Link to comment

grace3010 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Oh thank you so much, I will send it in a couple hours when I get to work Quote Link to comment
grace3010 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I actually figured it out. I was scaling it 1':20' instead of 1":20'. Oh geez. Thanks for you help! Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 no problem, glad you got it. It always seems to be the little things that get over looked. Quote Link to comment
