Can a new scale be added to the drop down menu?

[Anonymous]

I use Autodesk Design Review to measure square yardage for sod on approved site plans.  I have run across drawings with a scale of 1" = 15'.  This scale is not listed on the drop down menu for measuring.  Is there any way to add it?

Not an option.

That's an oddball scale if you don't mind me saying.

Just curious, did you mean 1:15, which is a common metric scale, and not 1"=15'? Or did you mean 1"=16', which of course is 1/16"=1'-0" by another name.

And, is there a reason you couldn't just set a Custom Scale, which is the option at the bottom of the scale list in the "2D Units and Scale" dialog box?

The drawing had 1"= 15'. One odd drawing in the middle of several. I tried
to get the custom scale on the drop down, but I couldn't get it to work for
me.

Your reply is a little vague, so just checking, to rule out the basics....  if the DWF file was printed at 1" = 15', then the custom scale would be 1 = 180.

(1 inch = 180 inches)
