Hi @Anonymous,

 

Go to the scale list as indicated by Dean and then select custom. You will then see the Edit Drawing Scales window. Select an existing scale or create a new one and then use the Edit button to set the ratio.

Select your Viewport, run PROPERTIES palette, there is Custom Scale item. Here you can set any scale you want.

ah, young people used to big button layout....

 

there is a toolbar palette called "Viewports" which allow to set a custom scale by typing the exact scale you want, without the need to edit the "drawing scale" lists (you might want to do this for various reason, such as "list already messed up by redundant scale found in xref"). 

 

To access this toolbar, you can either right click on any other toolbar and select from the list the one called "Viewports". 

 

otherwise, you can type "-toolbar", then "viewports" and then "show". 

 

Once the toolbar is in place you can type any number in there, and you'll have custom scale.

What's a toolbar?

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
