Field - Custom Scale Problem

heroldgalabau — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 05:02:36 GMT

Hi there,

I have various scales set up in my layout from 1:10 to 1:1000. I have also one field text that is referenced to my viewport and it shows the name of my custom scale (Object->Custom scale->Use scale name).

When I update my field text it shows the corresponding name of my scale for every scale except for 1:1000. There it always updates to 1:1. Its odd because it works for all other scales but only this one doesnt show my scale name. My units are set to meter and scale 1:1000 is set as 1 paper unit = 1 drawing unit.

Hi,

Acad search for custom scale name by ratio (1unit : 1unit)

and 1:1 have the same one, but is the first in order.

Change the Scales order (I think you don't have a viewport with annotation scale 1:1, so it isn't a problem)

ScaleListEdit, move 1:1 to the end (or just below 1:1000)

Could you share a dwg where you have these scales setup in your drawing especially the one that shows 1:1000 using SCALELISTEDIT command?

@heroldgalabau ,

Use the Standard Scale instead of the Custom scale:

Thanks, that and moving scale 1:1 to bottom of scale list solved the problem.
