Custom Scale 2" = 1'

March 7, 2018, 04:37 PM

Creating a custom scale looks like it should be pretty easy. I seem to be fumbling. If ratio is all I can enter, I'm not finding one that gets me to 2" = 1'

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Yup.
2" = 1'-0" is the same as 2" = 12"
expressing as a ratio you get 2:12, which is the same as 1:6
