scale - drawing option

[omarhernandez]

Hey everbody,


Does anyone know what option controls the display of the &Scale parameter in a drawing. My parameter is set up to display the following (1.000). I wanted do display for the current drawing I am working on to display (1/1). What option controls this. Also, what option controls the decimal places (assuming the two options I as speaking about are not the same ones) on the scale. e.g. 1.0 instead of 1.000.


Thanks

Go to file (pull down) properties, drawing options, then set view scale format to fractional. I can't find the option for number of decimal places.

AHHA....worked fine.


I can live with the number of decimal places in the scale parameter. Although it would have been nice to know how to change this.


Many thanks Doug!

if you are looking for the scale format you have got he answer.


if you are looking to change the decimal places here it is: &scale[.1]

To set the view scale format to fractional and not to set itas decimal, set the following drawing option:


view_scale_denominator 10


Number 10 defines the value that the fractional view scale will be multiplied with.

I meant to write this yersterday but got very busy. My problem is that it works fine on the actual drawing scale. (The one at the lower left corner of you display area (Screen) not the one in the drawing title block) I have a cell in my format that has a parameter (&scale) which displays the scale in decimals! I changed the option mentioned above. It worked on the one in the screen but not the one in the drawing title block.

In your .dtl file set:

view_scale_format ratio_colon

Hi All,

in my drawing it always shows the default scale in the cell which is define as &scale. Even though no view bears this scale anymore.

How can I overcome this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Are your view scales set to "default scale for sheet"? If so then there must be multiple models in the drawing and the parameter &scale is showing the scale of a different model. If there are multiple drawing models the parameters will have an ID number after them i.e. &scale:32. User the dimension/ID toggle to see all the parameters & dimensions in symbolic form then change the ID of the scale parameter to the correct model.

Thanks Doctor,

You were correct in your analysis.

I wasn't aware that the default scale can be changed, that easy.
Just out of interest, do you know how to see the ID number of a model without placing a dimesion and toggling to the ID?

Many thanks again...
