Christian Fekete Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I am trying to view a detail (image) on the screen at the size that it will show on paper. Basically, looking at 1/1 like if I was drafting on paper. How do I setup the zoom level? Please advise Quote Link to comment
J Lucas Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Measure the inches at the top of the screen with a scale and adjust the zoom %. For my monitor I have to have zoom set at 125% to see it close to actual size. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Presumably VW (or MiniCad) developed on a 72 ppi. If you divide your actual screen ppi by 72 you should get the required scale factor to achieve 1:1 cmd 3 - zoom to Normal Scale works only if your screen is at 72ppi. it would be nice if this could be manually controlled. You can set a saved view with this scale to return to it repeatedly. Quote Link to comment
acepernich Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Actually, it would be nicer for the program to read the display info (resolution, etc,) from the system, and do the scaling internally to display at true 100%. NVW? hint, hint? Quote Link to comment
