Metric View Port Scales

[smplyanne]

Hi-

 

I am drafting in CAD 2007, and I am doing a project in Metric. I would like to lay my drawings out in 1:25 scale; yet when I go to the viewport scale menu- it doesn't exist. I only have 1:20 and 1:30. Is there a way to add 1:25?

Does scalelistedit exist in '07?

Scalelistedit is in '07. Thank goodness!

 

I use '05 on my laptop, '07 in the office (workstation).

Easier way if you have the modelview toolbar open you can type a scale value in so long as your dwg is set to metric eg 5 = 1:200 4 = 1:250 2 = 1:500 quiker than scrolling the list

 

ok heres how it works 1m = 1000mm 1000/4 =250 etc

And here's anothery from us old codgers - Make your viewport current and use the Zoom command. Here's the procedure:

 

In the Active viewport type in 'Z' Enter; at the command prompt type in '1/25XP' (i.e 1 25th times Paperspace).

 

See, told you there's usually always a better/ another way to do just about anything...
