Hello,

I am new to CAD programs and I am unsure how to determine what scale to use for my drawings.  I completed the getting started with DraftSight tutorials but I am still stuck.

For example, if I have a components that will be approximately 25" x 18" and I want to be able to print it up on an A4 sheet (11.7" x 8.3") a scale of 1:2.5 would suffice (possible even 1:3 to allow for dimensions etc).  I cannot seem to see how to establish this though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
