Scaling up and down

[billy.leliveld]

I remember seeing a table of conversion between scales and percetages of printing somewhere, but I don't know where, it's not the one at FG, that's only between "Railroad" scales, anyone knowns where to find it?

Actually guys, if you want to know how to resize - just use this formula:

Take the bottom number (i.e. if your moving it from 1/48 - you use 48) of the first scale divided by the bottom number of the second scale (i.e. if your moving it to 1/72 you'd use 72) and you have your percentage.

Example: Convert 1/48 to 1/72

48 ÷ 72 = 0.666666... or 66.67%

Works the other way too!

72 ÷ 48 = 1.5 or 150%
