This week is a little test.
What is the quickest way to determine
the correct size that text should be drawn in model space, that will print
out to be 3/32" tall, when you are in model space mode of a layout tab
viewport?
SPACETRANS is the answer.
When in model space mode of a layout tab viewport, right-click and select
"Convert MS to PS". At the "specify paper space distance, type in
3/32". As an example, a viewport with the scale of 1/8"=1', the
command line answer is 9.000000050033326. Now make some 9" tall text
and it will print at 3/32" from your layout tab. The answer is in
fourteen places of decimal accuracy, but by the 8th decimal place, you can
round off a little bit.
Last tip. This is a great
tool for determining the text size in viewports that are "scaled to fit" the
extents of the viewport boundaries, rather than a preset scale.
