- As Todd mentioned in his blog - we had a small booth at the Americal Society of Landscape Architects show a couple of weeks ago. Because we are a small team, I was lucky wnough to be a demo jock for a day. It all went pretty well, and I demo'ed block substitution A LOT!
So, my tips today are about Blcok subsitution and scale.
When you create a block substitution, you can set the substitute to retain the dimensions of the original block after the replacement.
The Scale to Fit Bounding Box setting, in combination with the Scale Style setting, produces different results during block substitutions.
- If Scale Styles and Scale to Fit Bounding Box are off: Block styles are automatically scaled to match the scale of the sketch.
- If Scale Styles and Scale to Fit Bounding Box are on: The block styles are cumulatively scaled to account for changes to sketch scale, and the block size changes to fit the original block’s bounding box.
- If Scale Styles is off and Scale to Fit Bounding Box is on: The styles for each block retain their original scale.
- If Scale Styles is on and Scale to Fit Bounding Box is off. Block styles are automatically scaled to match the scale of the sketch.
