Change initial scale view?

akAMYTB — Fri, 06 Oct 2017 08:49:51 GMT

Hi everyone

I've done the mistake of placing a presentation view before my Front,Top and Side views, which I want the scale in my title block to refer to. However the sheet property "initial scale" seem to refer to what ever view that was placed on the sheet first. How do I change it?

Right now, my solution is to delete the first view and re-placing it, and then re-doing all the ballons. Can't help thicking there's a smarter way.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers - Anders

There are some limitations, but you can use other sheet to arrange view order.

Copy all your views to new view.

Remove all views from original sheet.

Then you can copy (first) view (set) back to first sheet.

And after that copy the rest of views.

Delete the extra sheet.

Hope this was helpfull for you.

Can you share an image or example screenshots ...

There should be a better way ..but I need to see what you're doing 100% first.

Might be easier to move the first image to another sheet so it resets to the view you want. Then bring back the old view to the original sheet

or move the views you want to a new sheet and then move the last view that you don't want to scale from to the new sheet.

Thank you both for your suggestions. These methods will have to do for now, but since I'm getting into iLogic anyway, I'm going to see if I can get around this issue in a less copy/paste kinda way 🙂

It seems a bit late but I have a solution to this problem
You can copy the first view to a second instance, then drag the original view containing the main scale out of the canvas and change it to the sacle you want.
