Page scaling
To accurately denote real world measurements, use page scaling.
For example, you may want to redesign your office and draw out your office layout, but your office has a size of 25m by 20m. Surely, these dimensions exceeded an A4 page of 297mm by 210mm.
By setting the scaling to 1mm = 100mm, an A4 page can now be used to represent 29.7m by 21m.
To set page scaling:
- Click on the Scale input and enter a source unit
- The click on the Scale target input and enter a target unit.
For example, enter 1mm into the source scaling and enter 100mm into the target scaling, in the example above.
Scaling inputs can accept pixels, inches, millimeters or centimeters, and by default if no units is detected, Capital Electra X will default to pixels.
