Hi @Anonymous,

Please give me an idea of what software you are running and which scalebar you are referring to. Is this one of the examples available from a tool palette?

Hi John,

No not heard anything yet. I was advised to post on here by the help desk Twitter account. They said they would send me screenshots of how to resolve the issue I have.

Many thanks,

Hi John,

Thanks for sending through the information, but this isn't what I am looking for. I need to know how I can edit the metric graphic scale that is found in the tool pallettes. It is set as cm but I need this to be in mm.

Thanks,

Matthew

Hi,

>> edit the metric graphic scale that is found in the tool pallettes

Can you please upload a screenshot of the position in your tool palette you are speaking about?

If so it looks like you have to used BEDIT.

Ok, you are speaking about AutoCAD Architecture, not plain AutoCAD.

That's another forum >>>there<<<.

mm bar scale, must be detailing a tiny little thing.

Hi @Anonymous,

This is actually quite easy to do.

Open the Tool Palette (Annotation).

Rt-click on the Graphic Scale - Metric.

For Scale change the 1 value as needed such as to .1

Is this what you are looking for?

Another way to adjust it is to scroll down to the bottom where it says Custom Scale. You can select additional values there.
