I see you are a student. Your questions here are so basic.
Are you taking a class in Archicad?
What kind of training are you getting?
Have you gone through the tuturials?
Have you read the manual(s) in the help menu?
No training, I'm a student and can't afford it, thats why I join these forums
I went through some of the tutorials a while back
I need to re-read the manual.
I post basic questions so that I can get a fast and simple answer. My deadline is Monday and I have a ton of things to do, some that simply will not get done unfortunately and I don't always have the time to read manuals; my mistake.
We all start from somewhere
You should save a separate view for each scale you want to print.
For example if you want to print a floor plan at 1:50 and also 1:10,
then set up separate views. With each view will be saved other settings such as Layer Combination, Model View Option, dimension profile/set, etc.
When you work in each view you will be seeing it as it will be printed.
With Archicad open, in the Help Menu>go to Archicad Help.
On the Contents tab:
Interaction : Navigation : The Navigator Palette : Setting up a View
Good for you using Archicad. May it start a new trend. Where in England are you? Perhaps there is someone nearby who would be willing to spend a couple hours with you. That kind of one on one help will be invaluable.

I live in Grimsby, Lincolnshire and I was thinking exactly the same thing ! It's obviously easier to get help online ( well faster ) as Ralph Wessel was helping me a few days ago on a project that I'm still trying to get right, but I appreciate any help from anyone !
I'm printing everything at 1:10 so that it's clearer to read in my presentation ( nobody know CAD really ) and it has to be to that specofoc scale anyway.

Still looking?
