help scaling my viewport on paper space

Greetings,

I'm looking for assistants in how to scale my viewports for a site plan, I need to get my views to 1"=20' and 1"=50', I used to be able to do this very easily a long time ago but have forgotten now.

 

Thank You

A circle is the locus of a cursor, starting and ending at the same point on a plane in model space or in layout such that its distance from a given coordinates (X,Y) is always constant.
X² + Y² = C²

While in your Layout tab, access your viewport and then at the lower right of your screen select the scale that is desired(see image). If the scale is not listed then you need to add it using this dialog box at the bottom of the list.

I the newer versions you pick once on the viewport, note a drop down arrow in the center of the viewport, pick that and select the scale you desire.  Adjust the size of the viewport with the grips to adjust for the size of your titleblock, etc.
