Display scale drawing coordinate calculator
The display scale drawing coordinate calculator converts real board measurements into positions on a smaller scale plan.
Result and working notes
Use 100% print scaling for this record. The sketch is not life-size and must not be used as a cutting pattern. Check measurements against the real materials.
Board width on the plan: 12 cm
The result is a coordinate record, not an automatically drawn display design. Use the same origin for every measurement.
| Board width on the plan | 12 cm |
| Board height on the plan | 9 cm |
| Point distance from the left on the plan | 4 cm |
| Point distance from the top on the plan | 3 cm |
| Scale denominator | 10 |
Free to use. A free account saves, downloads and prints your results, with no card.
