Custom Drawing Scale

When creating a drawing view is there a way to make a custom scale or are you constrained to 1:10 , 1:16 , 1:20 etc?

Hey @marks3U6W9, yes, this is definitely possible. Just click in the Scale window of the Drawings View dialog and type in any custom scale you need to use. This custom scale will also be remembered and will be available from the scale dropdown list in the future for easy re-use.

Just as @TimeraAutodesk said you can use a custom scale by typing it in the dialog box

Where is this dialog window? I can't find how to change scale settings anywhere.

You see that dialog box when you first start the drawing. I could not bring it back after placing the object in the drawing.
