AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

before when reset scale it will have 1:1000, 1:2000, something like that.

now when reset it is same as autocad. which is like 1:1 (should be 1000), 1:2 (should be 2000)

what changed? i know it's just the name but this is bad. shoudln't change something like this all the sudden. hopefully is some variable.

working in metric.

Your default setting have changed. They are set in the registry. You can open the Options dialog and set the default scale list to whatever you need.

[#3]

What is the command for resetting the drawing scale list?  That will come in handy.

[#4]

the command is "SCALELISTEDIT"  if you use it often like i do, creating an alias such as "SLE" is a good idea

[#5]

ok cool.

but where in options? i've never see options have a thing for scale list default. i did'nt change anything that's set by civil 3d as default. i guess just don't reset scale then. problem solved.

but still need to find this would be useful . let me know

[#6]

User Preferences/Default Scale List (lower right).

[#7]

Once you've got things the way you like them. A good way to make your customized list recoverable is to export the registry section where these values are stored. It will be in a path like

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.2\ACAD-A000:409\Scale List

Export that section to a backup REG file. If things go pear shaped you can run this file and restore the values.

As always - If you're uncomfortable working with the registry. Feel free to ignore this procedure.
