Plot Scales for Paper Space Zoom XP in AutoCAD

The Paper Space Should be set for a 1:1 Plot Scale or 1mm = 1 Drawing units. Then in the Paper Space activate the View Port by double clicking.

On the Command Line type Z for Zoom then S for Zoom Scale. Then type the desired zoom scale factor followed by XP.

Example: For 1:100 m scale = 10xp

Plot Scale                               mm                         cm                     m
1:100                                     0.01XP                  0.1XP                  10XP

For the Formula:

For Example: If you Draw in Centimeters ( 10mm each) and want to print @ 1:50, you will do a "ZOOM"
                     ( 10 ) X ( 1/50 ) = 10/50 = "0.2XP" or type directly "10/50XP".


                  If you draw in meters ( 1000 mm each ) and you want to print @ 1:200, you will do a "ZOOM"
                  ( 1000 ) X ( 1/200 ) = 1000/200 = "5xp" or even type directly "10/50XP"

AutoCAD Free Download Hatch Pattern

In many drawings, such as sections of solids, the sectional area needs to be filled with some pattern. Different filling patterns make it possible to distinguish between different parts or components of an object. Also, the material of which an object is made, can be indicated by the filling pattern. You can also use these filling patterns in graphics for rendering architectural elevations of buildings, or indicating the different levels in terrain and contour maps. AutoCAD has a built-in hatch pattern when you install the software. Here are some of the free hatch patterns to improve you CAD drawing for your project. AutoCAD Brick Hatch Pattern:
