Detailed View scale format

[mcgowanp]

Hey all, am trying to change the view note scale format from 1.000 to 1:1. Any ideas on how to do this.


Have got all the obvious drawing setup options set to ration_colon type.

Add following to your .dtl file
view_scale_format& nbsp; RATIO_COLON

 

[charleskim]

Add following to your .dtl file
view_scale_format RATIO_COLON


Sorry "& nbsp" got in there

Hey Char, did that in the dtl file file however it is still the same- made the change in the dtl file and also in the active drawing setup still no change to the drawing.

That's strange. What version are you using? I'm on 2001.


I don't know if it is different on WF.


On 2001, Advanced > Draw Setup and change and it works.

I am on wf, doesn't seem to be working out for me though.


thanks for the info though.

hey charles, the problem was that the dtl option view_scale_denominator was set to "0" as default. This has to be set to "1" for the 1:1 type scale appear.


strange but true!!!!

It is not that strange.
The numbers that the value that is assigned to view_scale_denominator can be divided by are allowed as scale values.
E.g. : if you have view_scale_denominator set to 50
50 can be divided by 1 so 1:1 is allowed.
50 can be divided by 2 so 1:2 is allowed
50 can not be divided by 3 so 1:3 is not allowed
50 can not be divided by 4 so 1:4 is not allowed
50 can be divided by 5 so 1:5 is allowed
and so on ...

Best regards,

Thanks for that John.


Would you also be able to help me populating my BOM. I have a part level parameter that I am trying to pull into the repeat reagion. Using asm.mbr.cparam.parameter_name. But it just aint working.


Any more resolutions to some strangeness???

Suppose your part level parameter is
ordercode
you can try to enter the following in the table
&asm.mbr.ordercode

Now you can create the repeat region and define the attributes (e.g. no duplicates, ...) for it.

Best regards,

John
