How do i display decimal plot scales in the print options in 2014 LT

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Sep 2015 09:21:58 GMT

I am trying to scale A0, A1 drawings down to A2, A3 respectivley for printing and whilst I am aware that I can do this through setting a custom value of 1mm = 2 units I know from that this should be selectable from the drop down menu, however this is only showing imperial scales.

Drawing units are all in decimal as is the default plot scale for the drawing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

>> should be selectable from the drop down menu, however this is only showing imperial scales.

Try to turn sysvar MEASUREMENT to 1, does that help?

Hi,

when you look to the paper size within the plot-dialog ... have you selected a paper size with mm or with inch as unit?

Within your screenshot I don't see anything based on imperial units.

Hi,

run command _SCALELISTEDIT and create the scales you need in the drawing and you'd like to show up.

If you want to have your predefined set of scales you can start command _OPTIONS ==> tab "User Preferences" and edit your default scale list ... this gives you the option for every drawing you open to use _SCALELISTEDIT with RESET and your drawing is updated with your defaults.
