Whats up folks.
Not sure if this is the right place for the question, but I'm sure I'll soon find out if its not, so here goes. I'm doing a layout for some 2d scale drawings of a wristwatch. I already have two viewports, showing the plan, and the elevation of the watch, (both 1:1) and now I'd like a third that shows the watch face in a bit more detail. That however, will require me to use a 1:2 scale. Can I do this? I've written in my title block that I'm using 1:2 @ A3, so I was thinking is there some sort of way to do a detail? Kind of like a more professional version of a magnifying glass.
Anyone able to give me some insight on the matter.
Regards,
Will

Yes, you can assign different scales to vports and this is one of the big reasons that layout (paper space) exists.
You may need to place "scale tag" to each vport or place "bar scale" as scot-65 pointed out.
The way we do it at work is to have a title above the individual drawing with the scale written at the end
eg
FIG.1: PLAN OF WRISTWATCH SCALE 1:1
FIG.2: CLOSE UP VIEW OF FACE OF WRISTWATCH SCALE 1:2
