  How to scale a design to 1:20

  Posted by Ewan Chrystal on 20 February 2017 at 10:57

  Can’t get my head round this one on a Monday morning. I have to produce a 1:20 scale drawing of a shopfront for local planning. I have the full size design open in flexisign. How do i make it 1:20?

  Divide either width or height by that factor, in your case 20.
  Make sure you keep proportions locked.

  Example: Your design measures 200×100 and you want to scale it down to 1:20.
  Divide either 200 or 100 by 20 and that is the reduced size, 10×5.
  Keep proportions!
