If your scale is a kilometer to a centimeter then for each kilometer of your route, you would represent this as one centimeter on your drawing.

∙ 14y agoA graphic scale allows whoever is viewing the document or image to get an understanding of how large the image is.
To accomplish this, you want to draw the scale with exponentially increasing increments, so that the viewer can easily compare the scale increments to the image displayed.
For example, if the drawing is at 1/8" = 1' scale, the first increment would be 1 scale foot, then 2 scale feet (1x2), then 4 scale feet (2x2), then 8 scale feet (4x2), and then 16 scale feet (8x2).

As long as you keep the scale at increments that double at each increase, the scale will remain easy to read and allow for comprehensive comparison between the scale and the image.

∙ 15y agoThe same way you do a linear scale, except instead of labeling each line a multiple (1,2,3,4 or whatever) label them with a power (10^1,10^2,10^3).

A 2-dimensional drawing would be comprised of flat shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, etc. A 3-dimensional drawing would be made of shapes that imply depth: cubes, pyramids, cones, spheres, etc. A scaled drawing is referenced to an "original" drawing or object and is proportionately the same as the original. Scaled drawings allow one to draw the original in a larger or smaller size (scale) without changing how the individual parts of the original relate to each other.
