NealEL Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 New to the Civil 3D world and trying to work out a few bugs. When trying to set my VPort scale in the pulldown, there is a LOOOOOOOONG list of nonsense scales ending in an extraordinary array of "XREF", sometimes as many as ten. I am sure there is a variable to set or a box to check so that I will only have the list of scales pertinent to that one drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Type -SCALELISTEDIT at the command line. (include the dash before the word), and then select reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealEL Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 ...for the help. Worked like a champ. Any idea why/how these are created automatically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Autodesk says it is a result of a drawing containing "multiple custom annotation scales". This must've been set up by whoever sent you the drawing. It happens to me quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 if you have the viewports toolbar turned on you can enter a number into the scale box directly. Talking metric get your object looking about right, then have a look at the number eg 4.43 change to 5 = 1:200 4 = 1:250 I am not in imperial but I am sure if you remember the number say 48 24 etc makes it easy to set scale.

sinc Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 It was a bug in some versions of Civil 3D (I believe it was just C3D 2008). I stopped seeing it, though. I think it was fixed in 2008 SP2. Are you up-to-date on your service packs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
