I'd like to throw myself on the mercies of the assemvled throng please!
I'm (very) slowly learning my round Fusion 360 as a 3-D design programme, and have been drawing up some "small" items in 4mm (P4) that I'd like to print in resin. Historically, I used Turbocad and always drew at full size and then scaled to suit. I've kept this method of working with Fusion 360, but it throws a tantrum if one tries to scale at 1.76.2 - the decimal place gives an error and the closest I can get is 1.76, which gives an 18" long object a length of 5.941mm instead of 6mm.
1. How do other Fusion 360 users draw and scale? Is there a factor to give 4mm/ft that I'm missing?
2. Am I being pedantic about the error? However, this would translate into an error of 6mm in a 60 foot length.
3. I'm taking it for granted that you wouldn't rely on slicer programme for scaling?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers,
Paul
