Automatically Set Measurement Scale for Dimensioning Partial Enlargements

In AutoCAD software, we generate a partial enlargement by creating a view port in a layout tab, but sometimes scaling a part directly in the model tab to generate its enlargement is expedient. Before dimensioning this kind of enlargements in the model tab, we should change the measurement scale in dim-style to keep the correct dimensions. Nevertheless, Adaucogit Salt also provides a tool to generate partial enlargements in the model tab, and more, if dimension them by using Salt dimensioning tools, they will be dimensioned in the correct measurement scale automatically.

In the following, generating a partial enlargement and dimensioning it by Salt tools will be demonstrated.

1. Enlarge the part which was circled in the below picture.

2. Click the enlargement tool which is called “Magnifier”.

3. Specify the center of the part and specify the radius.

4. Input the scale.

5. Input the name.

6. Specify the location of the label.

7. Specify the location of the enlargement.

8. After specifying, it will generate a partial enlargement automatically.

9. Dimension the enlargement by using Adaucogit Salt annotating tools.

10. Comparing the enlargement with the normal view, it could be found that the annotations are at correct measurement scale.

P.S. The measurement scale will be set correctly and automatically only if use Salt dimensioning tools in the enlargements which are generated by Salt.
