Technical Drawing Scale question

[neil_g]

This is making my head hurt the more I Google it..

I have some pdf architects drawings scaled to 1:50@A0.

I don't have an A0 printer, so if I printed at A4 what would the scale be?

So if I measured 1cm on the A4 print, what would that equal scaled up into real terms?

Thanks GD..

Should be -

1:50 @ A0 = 1:100 @ A2 = 1:400 @ A4

So 1cm should be 400cm

But just double check that against some known values

Sounds about right. Cheers

Trouble is I have no known values, all I have is these drawings with no measurements only the scale "1:50@A0".

The building isnt out of the ground and I need to make a plan for installing lan and wlan.

And my head is hurting again..

Okay, I'll go back and request some measurements to use as a Base.
