AutoDesk ACP-01101 Exam - Topic 3 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for AutoDesk's ACP-01101 exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 3
[All ACP-01101 Questions]

In model space (MODEL), a room label text height is set to 300 mm in the designated text style.

Which viewport scale should you apply to a layout viewport (PAPER) so that the room label text height will display as 3 mm when plotting the drawing?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

the formula for determining object scaling is:

Object Height x Annotation Scale x Annotation Plot Size = Model Space or Paper Space Height

In this case, we want the room label text height to be 3 mm in paper space when plotting the drawing. Assuming an annotation plot size of 1 mm and an object height of 300 mm, we can solve for the annotation scale as follows:

300 x Annotation Scale x 1 = 3 Annotation Scale = 3 / 300 Annotation Scale = 0.01

Therefore, the viewport scale that corresponds to this annotation scale isB. 100:1.

Custom could work, but A) 1:100 is the standard choice.

I’m leaning towards D) a custom scale. Could be more accurate.

No way, Jeffrey. B) 100:1 would make it too big.

I agree, A) 1:100 seems right. 300 mm to 3 mm is a 100 scale.

So, 1:100 makes it 3 mm in paper space!

Wait, so we're scaling down the text, not up? I thought this was supposed to be easy!

B) 100:1 is the inverse of the correct answer, so it would not achieve the desired result.

C) 1:1 would not work, as it would display the text at the same size as in model space, which is not the desired outcome.

D) A custom viewport scale would also work, but A) 1:100 is the most straightforward solution.

A) 1:100 is the correct answer. The room label text height is set to 300 mm in model space, and we want it to display as 3 mm when plotting the drawing. To achieve this, we need to apply a viewport scale of 1:100.

I practiced a similar question where we had to adjust text heights, and I feel like 1:1 might be too large for this case.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about scaling down text sizes in practice questions. Could it be 100:1?

This is a tricky one, but I think I can figure it out. I'll need to do some calculations to determine the appropriate viewport scale to get the text to the right size on the plot.

I'm pretty confident I can solve this one. It's just a matter of setting the right viewport scale to get the text to the desired size on the plot. I'll work through the math step-by-step.

Okay, I think I've got this. If the text is set to 300 mm in model space, and we want it to be 3 mm on the plot, then we need a viewport scale of 1:100. That should do the trick!

I think the scale should be 1:100 since that would reduce the 300 mm text height to 3 mm in the layout.
