(18x24, 24x36, and 36x48 for architectural – engineering is slightly smaller based on multiples of 8.5x11). You may play with this.Īrchitectural drawings (ANSI) are typically either C, D or E size. I have tried it out prior to writing this and got an error "freetype6.dll not found", but I remember to have had it working some time ago. If you take a quite "sticky" font it might look acceptable.
#Dimensioning in librecad windows
With this you can turn a windows ttf font to a LC lff font. Maybe you could make a template for other American fellows, there often are questions on that in the forum.Īrch_inch_1_96_letter.dxf Concerning fonts, in the main LibreCAD program folder there is a ttf2lff.exe. I include it here so you may have a look at it. I have no knowledge about standard architectural scales in the imperial world (US), so i choose 1:96 as it's closest to metric standard 1:100. Some time ago I have tried to make a template for architecture in inches as unit. Except for "Fixed Length" extension lines if you use that, these sadly do not respond to "General Scale". You don't have to change the other values any more. It is best to make yourself a template with the dimensioning settings you like, and then use it for future new drawings and adjust to a different scale with "General Scale".
Line thickness is shown right on screen in drawing mode only at a scale of 1:1.Īs you do architectural drawings you will have a much smaller scale, and you can see the proper look only in the print preview mode. Any more typical settings than the default which leaves text and arrows and so on so small you can’t see that they exist? I started with a general scales of 10 and then modified the individual values. But changing the tick size does indeed change the length. – even a very large value for text, dimension lines, or ticks seems to have no effect. In dimensioning, overriding the width options from “by layer” to a value I would prefer an older style “hand drawn” font and the ability to bold it or something (same goes for normal text). Wish there was a better selection of fonts. And I have tried both horizontal and aligned. It doesn’t “break” or give a gap for the text no matter what settings I try. The dimension line still goes through the text. So – It is very close to what I am trying to accomplish. And doing the offset for text – “minus height / 2” positions it correctly. I have indeed set an appropriate tick size and zero arrow size.
