Changing view scale to fill sheet

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone!

I'd like to change the scale of a view to completely fill, say, an ANSI A1 sheet (or whatever size, that's not so important).

I mean i would like to have a "scrambled" scale which somehow fits my view automatically to the sheet, instead of creating dependent views with a proper 1:50 or 1:100 (etc.) and having multiple sheets.

Is there a way i can do this quickly?

I thought about creating custom scales, say, like 1:59, 1:60, 1:61, etc., and one of them will eventually fit to the sheet, but that is tedious.

Thank you!

If the scale of the viewport is not important, then put the view on a sheet, and from the sheet, select the viewport and change the scale. In two or three clicks you can figure out what scale makes the viewport occupy all the sheet. 

By the way, perspective views are the only ones that provide a quick way to change the size of the viewport to a specific dimension. For other types of views, either you do what I mentioned above, or do some math to find the best scale factor.

I don't know if this is suitable for your goals, but...

...IF your goal is just to print a non-scaled view as big as your printer can make it...

You can of course just open a view, maximize its window, zoom-to-fit, and then in the print dialog you can set up the "Visible portion of current view" option and the "Fit to page" option.
