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?

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.
