    Default Inserting a scale bar under my compass / north arrow

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I have found 3 installed dynamic scale bars that cad offers that can be inserted onto a map, but i dont like the graphics of the 3 choices.

    is there other choices for dynamic scale bars offered somewhere, or do people just build there own?

    Edit one of the three.

    Create one of your own.

    Visit other AutoCAD help sites and see if there are any dynamic scale bars you do like. Suggestions: AUGI, CBEN, CADforum, AutoCADEverything, The Swamp.

    I think Michael Beall covered this topic in the past. Check out Michael's Corner here at CADTutor.
