How do You add to Standard Scale for viewports & fields

[Anonymous]

I want to use fields to note some viewports but the 3/4"=1'-0" comes up as 1:16. The properrty of the viewport also shows as 1:16. How can i modify this so it will come in as 3/4"=1'-0"? I also have some civil viewports such as 1"=10'-0" & 1"=20'-0" that i have to do as a custom viewport. Can those be adding into standard scales?

FIELD, OBJECT suboption, select the viewport and now instead of OK look at the far right of the pop-up and define the settings you want.

I'm not sure what you meant there but i used custom scale & then select #"=1'-0". I think i had to do something similar to get the civil scales to work in fields. It's odd to me that 3/4"=1'-0" is not part of the standard scale with fields.

Are you sure it doesn't have 3/4" = 1'-0"   ??

Mine has it.

If you want to add all preset scale based on units in, ft, metric....

Type in :   -DWGUNITS then select the unit you use, then go to scalelistedit , hit RESET

yes, when i do it with custom scale it reads 3/4"=1'-0"

When i use standard scale i get 1:16.

When i try to change the standard scale on the viewport properties.

It reverts back to 1:16 when i close the properties pallette.
