Currahee Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I don't see why anyone using a product after Release 14 would still be sizing viewports with the Zoom > Scale > nXP option unless the scale is not standard. As far as I know 3/16" is still a standard architectural scale and it can be found on the scalelist. As old school as you are...you just asked that question!!! (Theres a Erase button too but how many people really use it....LOL) You are grounded!!!! For that my friend you have to go whole week WITHOUT using the SPACEBAR!!!

ReMark Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Does your grandfather own the company? Do they even teach this method any more? There are four or five ways a viewport can be scaled. I'd put the Zoom > Scale method at the very bottom of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotGuy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 McAlpine is family owned. Sadly, I'm not of McAlpine bloodline. And yes, I was taught this particular method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nestly Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Do they even teach this method any more? There are four or five ways a viewport can be scaled. It's never a bad idea to know the different zoom options, but I don't know why anyone would choose to use those methods to the exclusion of the Annotative Scale list. For instance, Annotative objects are useless when using Zoom > nXP, or the old Viewports toolbar scale drowdown, because neither of those trigger the annotative scaling to update.

Chilidawg Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I wouldn't worry about your houses. Your numbers were off by so little that it wouldn't be reflected on paper. Plus, if your plans were properly dimensioned. No one would have to put a scale to paper. Wait, are you saying that contractors follow the plans to the exact dimensions?

RobDraw Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Probably not, if they put scale to paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
