Trying to determine the dimension text size for scaling such a large object would be tedious at best, but a feature of LibreCAD makes it simple. Generally, output is a printed page, but it can also be a pdf, or exported to another image format.Īs an example, for an annotated drawing of a floor plan to appear correctly when the drawing is reduced in size, or scaled down, to print on an “A4” page (210 x 297 mm), the dimension text would need to be proportional to the floor plan itself prior to being reduced to fit the page. On the other hand, when producing output the drawing will need to be adjusted in size to fit the page size. Setting the scale of a drawing is the easy part, drawings should be created full-scale (1:1)! The zooming abilities of LibreCAD will make the whole drawing fit in the drawing window or magnify sections to view fine detail. Some of the key considerations for setting up the drawing include: However, these and many other preferences and drawing elements, such as fonts, layer, line thickness and type, pen colors, etc. The majority of these settings can be left as the defaults as LibreCAD’s defaults reflect normal drafting conventions and practices, such as the “Text Height” of 2.5 mm /. However, there are a many drawing parameters that can be changed to suit the user’s requirements and the drawing’s final appearance. Under normal circumstances, after the initial installation and configuration of LibreCAD, little if any additional configuration needs to done before creating a drawing. The drawing’s configuration is largely determined by the Drawing Preferences. Some of the preferences for a drawing will be governed by drafting conventions, some will be determined by organizational requirements, and others might just be personal preferences. With LibreCAD, that document is a drawing.
As with other software word processors, spreadsheets, etc, there are many ways a user can to setup or configure preferences for a new document.
