Viewing scale

Why can't I change the viewing scale by clicking on this? Is there a different place to do this?

I tried all of those things.

Does it work for you? do objects look ok to you when placed into a Master plan ? When I am in a master plan the objects don't even look right in the viewer. I click on the objects icon on the tool bar, choose an object, and it does not look right there either. When I switch to a floor plan and do the same thing everything looks fine. hmmmm...

Yes, the objects work in the Master Layout, and show correctly in the layouts. My objects are pure GDL, are you using bitmap images or the 2D drawing window of the object? (Guessing at what could be different, do you want to post the object?)

Perhaps if you post a screen shot of how the object "does not look right", someone will get an idea of what is going on.

I was referring to what you are seeing in the "Viewer", which I was guessing is the object dialog box, but I am not sure. If you post the object itself, I will see if it works on my set up.
