Drawing Scale

Drawing Scale

I want to have a parameter in a drawing that would be a "sheet scale" that could be used for any views created on the drawing.  The views should then have a check box for "Use sheet scale".  By default, this would be checked but could be unchecked to use a view scale independent of the sheet scale.

Have you looked into Sheet Formats?

Yes, I've looked into them and use them; not sure how I could create the sheet scale idea I'm talking about using sheet formats.

We now use a function which 'copies' the scale from the base view. Works fine untill this is deleted. The second main view (mostly an isometric view with different scale) will be the new 'base' view. The scale of our drawing is displayed faultly.

 

When exporting (by a jobserver) this drawing to DXF it uses this incorrect scale for scaling up the DXF.

 

 

As brimal askes: can we please get an 'sheet-scale', wich can be edited under 'edit sheet'. For each view the 'sheet scale' or other available scales can be selected. I'm sorry to say but this is a standard method in SolidWorks....

 

This 'sheet-scale' can be adapted as a sheet property. It then can be inserted in the title block as a property. In this case, it can be combined with this 'accepted' idea: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideas/v2/ideapage/blog-id/v1232/article-id/457
