How to change the scale of a floor plan

[ChiefUserRachel1]

I used to know how, but I cannot remember or find my notes of how to change the scale could someone help me?

Most  of us create a layout and send your plan to a layout page. You can specify your scale when sending your plan view to a layout or later by selecting a bounding rectangle and pressing the scale button below.

I am need to change the scale to 1' - 0" = 1/2' scale  in the drafting before you are wanting to print.

1ft = 1/2 a foot?  sounds a bit strange ...at least not one I have seen before.....

 

In both Layout and Plan Views 

Go to File > Print > Drawing Sheet Setup  and change the Drawing Scale....

That is a bit irregular.    Are you referring to "Check Plot" Printing perhaps ?

 

There is another current thread on that subject here:
