Tutorials

CADTutor tutorials are all original and specifically designed to get you working with AutoCAD and other applications as knowledgeably as possible.

See the AutoCAD tutorials page for more information.

Tip of the Day

Add additional "standard scales"

To create additional "standard scales" in AutoCAD, type SCALELISTEDIT. You will then see the Edit Scale List dialog, shown on the right.

Click on the Add… button. In the Add scale dialog, enter the name of the scale, for example "1:1250", this is the name that will appear in the list. Then enter the Paper units and Drawing units as desired.

Note: "Drawing units" refers to the modelspace units.
