ChiefUserGingerP Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I am Ginger Carter Patterson, Chief User since 1994. I am using version X13. About ten years ago when I was using an older version of CA I regularly exported a footprint file for the engineer by creating a CAD detail, then sending a footprint to the CAD detail that could be imported by the engineer to their ACAD plot plan. I have not been asked for a footprint in several years, but recently was asked for a footprint of a large home I'm doing in Hot Springs Village (I'm in Texarkana). I can't figure out how to create that simple drawing in X13! I've watched the tutorials, but they show creating terrain. I never had to create terrain before. It was simple. What am I missing? Thanks, Ginger Carter Patterson Drafter-Designer-Space Planner Chief user for 28 years, using X13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefUserGingerP Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Yes, I did find that already and used it to send a footprint to a CAD file. I need to know when I have the exported footprint in the CAD file which scaling unit to use in order for the engineer or drafter to import to 1"=20'.

joey_martin Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hmm...as far as I know we work in 1:1 unless you send it to a blank layout at that scale and export it from there. It's been many, many years since I worked on AutoCAD but he should be able to scale what you send him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
