When a drawing is described as ‘to scale,’ it means that each element in that drawing is in the same proportion, related to the real or proposed thing – it is smaller or indeed larger by a particular percentage.
The scale 1 : 12∙5 is a unitary ratio in the form 1 : n. 1 cm on the scale drawing represents 12∙5 cm in real life. The drawn length multiplied by 12∙5 gives the real length.
Architects use millimetres (mm) and metres (m), but not centimetres (cm). The colon ‘:’ in a scale is pronounced ‘to,’ so 1:100 is spoken as ‘one to one hundred.’ While scales like 1:25, 1:30, and 1:250 may appear, it’s standard practice to use 1:20, 1:50, and 1:200 instead.
The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale. Thus on an architect's drawing one might read 'one centimeter to one meter', 1:100, 1/100, or 1 / 100 . A bar scale would also normally appear on the drawing.
The scale of a drawing is usually stated as a ratio. For example, 1 \, cm \, \text{:} \, 5 \, m. You would read this as “ 1 centimeter to 5 meters” which means that every 1 centimeter on the diagram represents 5 meters in real life.
