As an old "pencil" draftsman I learned a simple method of scaling a drawing. I simply make my scale 3/4"=1'. I can then print out a "full-size" drawing and use...

Tom, In response to your question about who actually uses CadRail in 3D, I would say that I'd like to, but I find it pretty difficult. What I'd like to be able...
Nick, thanks for your note, I've filed it away for future reference, good idea. However, I'd still like the program to be able to do that for me. Having been...
I have been following some of the issues regarding the improving CadRail. Let me first tell you I use CadRail in a Windows NT environment. I have had a...
I agree. I have also drawn several buildings for the library after having to convert each measurement. This way would be of a big help. Terry ... From:...
... Am I missing something here? That's what I do all the time. I create my drawing at 1:1 and then when I print the drawing I select "1 Inch on paper =...
I've read a lot about the "creeping featuritis" that most of us don't like in other programs, but I really feel that any one program should be complete within...
John: What we're asking for is that, when you dimension a line in full scale, for example a 48' line, the dimemension reads '48'. When you scale that line by ...
Jerry, That may be true, but all Craig said was he wanted to print out the drawing, pin it to some wood, and cut on the lines. You don't need dimensioning to...
John: I understand the "trace around the drawing with a razor blade" approach to using a scaled down drawing. But, what if you use something like CNC to cut ...
Jerry, Yes, CNC is not something I had considered. If I get out my dremel I reckon I'm getting into high-tech stuff :-) So, the next question, if we have a...

Jerry, Ahh. Both my scale rules only have sixty-fourths, not tenths/hundredths. Mine have millimetres too. But still, since I measure in scale feet and...
As I say, I cheat. I use my CAD program for dimensioning. It semiautomatically dimensions, i.e. I have to tell it what dimensions I want and it puts them in....

Keith - thank you. Your reply caused me to re-create an object and when I used Object Editor, I happened to notice the "Assign a grade" option. After ...
