Paperspace scale pulldown

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to edit the 'standard scales' for viewports?

I find it a quite a challenging concept to create architecture in scale 100
:1 !
But i must say scale 1:200 , 1:500 and 1:1000 (1:2000) are rather more
common yet missing in the list.

Next version?

I made my own. I have a vba project on the AUGI Exchange that not only lets
you choose between Engineering, Architectural and Metric scales, but checks
your current viewport scale and preselects the nearest standard scale so you
don't have to calculate anything. Look for EX001304, VPScale.dvb at
http://www.augi.com/empower/exchange/searchdownloads.asp.

Ed,

I tried your VBA script but all I seem to get is the scale of the viewport
reported on the command line should I be getting a dialog box of some kind?
Or did I mis understand what the script is supposed to do? Let me know what
I did wrong.

Thanks, Jeff Hanson

That would be the GetVPScale function. Try the SetVPScale macro.
