Custom Layout scales not working


Recommended Posts

Greetings everyone. I am using AutoCAD 2011. I want to add a few new scales in layout. The new scales are: 4"=1'-0" up to 5-3/4"=1'-0" in 1/4" increments. Unfortunately when I add the scales in scalelistedit while I'm in Layout, my drawing doesn't scale to any of the new scales. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Sorry. No scaling of the object at all. But wait!! I see from your post something I hadn't noticed in mine. The paper units = drawing units. My reads 1 paper unit = 1 drawing unit. Should I be changing this myself to read what you have? I'll try that and post back results. Thanks.

Nestly. I am so glad you responded to my question. As a result of your visual post I can see why my custom scales did not work. All I needed to do was to make sure the boxes in paper units and drawings units represented the value I was creating the custom scale at. Your example was perfect. I entered my custom scales as shown in your example and now my drawings scales exactly to what I desire. Awesome help. Many thanks.
