How does revit assign lineweights to custom view scale / scale value drawings? Revit 2020

Hi there, 

 

Trying to set up a good revit template for the office, part of this is setting up line weights so we get a sexy drawings, quicker...

As you may know, line weights (manage>additional settings>lineweights) are assigned against standard view scales and there is a pre-determined list of scales you can add to the line weight matrix.  I have two things to clarify:

 

- Is it possible to add a custom view scale to the list provided (image below), we need to use 1:1250 for every UK project, and it isn't on the list. 

 

- I need a general explanation of how Revit assigns lineweights to custom view scale / scale value drawings, so for example if i set a drawing at 1:400, is it trying to scale proportionally between given lineweights for 1:200 and of 1:500?

Unfortunately, till now it is not possible to add a custom scale to line weight list.
From a personal practice i used a simple formula to determine which line weight is assigned to a custom scale as following:

I add 2 scales and divided them by 2 and any number above the mean will follow the larger scale.

 

So if I create a custom scale 1:400 (1:400 is between 1:200 and 1:500)

(200+500)/2=350 which is <400

So the 1:400 will follow 1:500 line weight and any custom scale <= 1:350 will follow 1:200

Hi there,

 

I don't see an answer to the 1:1250 custom scale question. UK users must use 1:1250 and 1:2500 scales all the time.  These are industry accepted planning scales for local authorities. We have less use for 1:1000 and 1:2000.

 

Is it possible to create a permanent custom scale in a template so that it is available in the drop down list for every view. Or another way to permanently save the scales? This would really save us some time.

 

Ta!
