Hi,
Does anybody have an ideer or solution to measur the Geometry of area and perimeter in an scaled sheet?
If I use the dimension in a scaled sheet that works, but not if I use this for an room head. The tool 'create space" don't work in the scaled area too!

Happy for a few good ideers or an advice how to do it!
Don't scale anything. Don't every scale anything. All drawings are Real and Dimensions are REAL.
Now that I've said DON'T SCALE ANYTHING.
Create REAL Sheets (ARCH A, ANSI B, 24x36, etc)
Then reference at a scale. Everything will look beautiful and when you reference something at lets say 1/4"-1'-0" or 1:50, you will ALWAYS reference a similar file the same. ALWAYS.
Never will you BLOW UP a sheet to fit around a drawing, and NEVER will you scale a drawing in relationship to another drawing. 1/4" is ALWAYS scaled into a reference at 1:48. ALWAYS.
Note Don't annotate your drawings until you've referenced the drawing into a sheet to judge the best scale. Then go back and either draw text at the appropriate height (1/4" drawings will always be 6" for my office) and out of Habit make sure your scale in Model Preferences is set to the appropraite scale 1/4")
Both options have the same results unless you use Annotation symbols. or Text Scaling.

Hi Eric,
Sorry! But it don't works really. If i do dimension in the master model 1:1 and then ref. this in my seperate plot sheet (file), that looks different to the original 1:1 and not on the same position. Same is with Text, hi move far away from the position in 1:1. (see attached)
Do you have an advice or a trick?
Thanks Konrad
The easiest is to CUT OFF scale Dimension in your reference dialog box. Open the reference dialog box - select your plan - and then uncheck the box for text scale.
Your plan s then will match porportionally.
If you ahve Scale on you need to go to your dgnlib file and define your dimension and text styles to teh actual size you want your text to plot. Then use those styles only.
thanks that works pretty good.
But on the other hand I have all dimension in the model and master model. Is that right?
Y allways work in this way?

All Dimensions and annotations are in the Drawing Models NEVER any annotations in the models.
This is where Grammar and verbage is so important for Bentley.
What is a model and then what is a lodel.
A Model can be any 3d object.
A Model can also be a file in a dgn.
So when some are thinking about a model others are thinking about the other model.
Never place anny annotation in your 3d drawings.
Place then in the "Drawing or what we used to call Design Model" this has a reference of the BV, 3d models ext and annotate here.
