View scale 1:2.5

Anonymous · ‎2017-09-20

Hi

Is there a way of adjusting the View scale to a decimal place? sometimes my detail drawings require a scale 1:2.5 just to make it work on a page (it is a good scale that is big enough but not too big)

But it seems like the scale View cannot do decimals?

Nope, no decimals.

It's not the worst problem, tho

In these cases I'd just do a 1:2 view, than scale it on the layout to 80% = 1:2.5.
The autotexts are aware of this and will show the true scale.

That's a good tip. Although it would make it difficult to make sure all the text sizes were the same on the layout (or I'd have to oversize the text in the 1:2.5 so at 1:2 it looked the same)

Are you drafting dollhouse details?

Don't think that in 12 years I've done anything larger than 1:5 for details.

I do have all my 1:100 plans at 1:75 (and resized to 1:100 on layout) for my 2 mm texts to become 1,5 mm and then stay as 2 mm when I move on to 1:50 phase.
