PICTURESCALE

Function:

Allows the user to set the scale of the isometric drawing.

Description:

For a given sheet size, the scale of the isometric drawing is set by default to give a good compromise between the amount of information displayed and its legibility. The PICTURESCALE command allows the user to reset the scale. The value the user gives is the scale factor relative to the default value of 100.

Note:
Changing the picture scale does not scale the whole isometric, but just affects the size of the symbols and annotation relative to the length of pipe shown. The material list is not affected.

It is probable that increasing the picture scale much above 100 will split the drawing onto more sheets. Refer to SPLIT command for further information of how this can be controlled.

Examples:

PICT 200

Magnifies the symbols to twice the size.

PICT 50

Reduces the size of the symbols by half.
