Autocad 2018 Viewport Update

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I just updated my Autocad 2018 and one the the new features is having a pickbox on the viewport. I can now resize the viewport scale just by picking an item on the pickbox.

But the problem is Xref scales are also included in the list, so it is hard to pick if you have so many Xref on the drawing. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

>> But the problem is Xref scales are also included in the list, 

You can select if you want to have the XRef based scales listed or not, the system variable is HIDEXREFSCALES. It does not influence the list in the center-grip of the viewport, but it does help in a reduced list for the icon in the status bar of AutoCAD.

You can also switch the flag for showing or hiding XRef dependent scales in that list by activating or disabling "XRef Scales"

Thanks for the reply,

I already activated that system variable. But I want it to reflect on the center grip because changing the scales using center grip also scales down/up the viewport itself.

Anyway I appreciate your help.

Sorry, no way as far as I know for now.

You may send that feedback to the >>>product feedback link<<<.
