AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

I have an old dwg that I used to add new data to. I also inserted a block produced by Revit to get a building elevation. I am not sure when or how it happend, but my drawing scale units are stuck on arch. I am talking about the bottom right hand corner of the screen on the status bar where there is the spot to set drawing scale. When I open by clikcing the arrow all the scales are in architectural units. I can add a custom scale of 1"=100', but it does not otherwise appear in the list. I wasn't going to wrry about it, but when I layout a plan/pro series they do not seem to be scaling correctly (and I cannot find a place to specify what scale I want the views to be at). UNITS, -DWGUNITS & -AECDWGUNITS don't fix it, they are all set to decimal, etc. Using the seetings tab to change the drawing settings, everything is set to feet, there is no place to specify arch units, the 100 scale drawing is shown as a custom scale.

This is C3D release 2012, on a 64bit Win7 Pro machine, everything is up to date.

Does anyone know where I can change the units for the drawing scale?

See this post for a LISP routine that will export the scale list from one drawing and import into another:

or this post that describes a way to do it with cut and paste:

thanks Tim,

Not sure exactly what is going on, but I can get additional scales into the dwg using one of those methods.
