Drawing scale notes

[Steve_C]

I am having some trouble with drawing scales. Is there a way to change how the scale is noted on the drawing?


If I use 1:15 the note on the drawing will be 7:100. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong here.

Go to your drawing.dtl file and set view_scale_format to fractional

Close but no segar.

Change view_scale_denominator

Thanks for the replies. Where do I find Change View?


Should have said in my original post I'm using Wildfire 4

dr_gallop is correct it is view_scale_denominator. You get there by right mouse button in the field of a drawing pick properties then drawing options. This takes you to the drawing.dtl file where you can set various options that control setting for the drawing. Pay attention to where you have this file located so you can go back and make other changes to the drawing setup and be able to load it into a new drawing.Edit:: Actually I think you have to set both view_scale_format and view_scale_denominator to get what you are looking for.
