Hi there. This probably will sound like a real dumb question, but it’s really vexing me.
I want to draw a 2d drawing of my dashboard in my motor home to scale. I want to be able to accurately place circles of the correct size for my instrument gauges so that I can redesign the whole board.
I cannot work out how to correctly scale the drawing canvas, so I can draw a rectangle that will equal the real world size of 550mm wide by 290mm high, and then draw the guages, also to scale.
The other alternative is using a different program. But as I only want 2d, then I thought Gimp was the best.
Hope that makes sense, and someone can assist me.
