               <p class="para_item">CSCALE is used to control the spacing of characters when plots are made with the NASTRAN plotter and they are postprocessed with the NX/NASPLOT routine.  For example, if the SCALE FACTOR on the NASPLOT data command is 2.0, a value for cs of 0.5 will result in characters of default size (.07 inches) at the regular spacing.  A value of 1.8 produces good spacing when using the post-processing plotter programs NASTPLT, TEKPLT, and NEUPS.  On the other hand, if the user wishes to double the size of both the plot and the characters, the SCALE FACTOR and the CSCALE FACTOR on the NASPLOT data command should both be set equal to 2.0. </p>
