Hi all,
Ive been working on updating a template file for use in our office, we have everything dialed in and in AutoCAD 2020 it works fine. however when its opened in C3D there are scalelist entries being created that wern't saved into the template.
Specifically:
1:1000
1:1_1 etc
My understanding was that so long as 1:1 is set to 1 = 1 in all drawings/xrefs/inserted blocks that the rest of the scalelist should behave its self and stick to whats in the template.
conversly, could this be remedied by using 1:1 is 1 = .001 across the board? We'd tried that in the past and ended up with the 1:1_1, 1:1_2 etc... issue
Ive attached a screenshot of the scalelist with the offending entries highlighted as well as a copy of the tmeplate for review.
any help would be greatly appreciated as its causing a significant roadblock to the process of standardising the office.
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
The mtext notes object in paper space is annotative and has the scale 1:1_1. The current model space page setup has the scale 1:1000 set. Change these to get rid of those two scales.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I've gone through and made the suggested changes then saved the template down.
the problem now is the page setups keep reverting to 1:1000 when the template is loaded and 1:1 reverts to 1 = .001 then we get the accompanying 1:1_1 comes in to fill out the trio.
any other pointers on where to look would be awesome
A further update to the issue. IO created a clean template by opening the default Civil 3d template and removing all scales except 1:1.
saved the file as test2.dwt and closed.
re-opening the file is creating the same scalelist issue.
could this be a settings issue in C3D? opening the same templates in AutoCAD does not have this problem.
