XRef Scales go wandering?
Hi allI have a dwt in which I have all of the scales we need, but it seems like whenever I create a drawing from it and save it only seems to retain the scales used.
A dodgy workaround I have is a tiny mtext with all required scales as annotative scales, but that gives scales of eg.; 1:1000 X_Ref, which isn't cool as I use annotative text....
Could somebody please tell me how I can have them all stay in the drawings?!
thank you If you're talking about the on the tab in Options you can restore them with the SCALELISTEDIT command. Hi Tombu,
yes that is it.
thanks very much. :)
We have a custom routine that deletes all unused scales at drawing load time, and loads a set that is defined elsewhere.
So that all drawings that are opened will then contain the default set stored, plus any in use. This was due to the bloat bug that caused some drawings to contain hundreds of scale list entries. I used a heavily modified version of Jimmy Bergmark's PersonalMtextSymbols.LSP to do that for many years but he's noted it stopped working in 2019 version. Still doesn't work for scales in 2021 but does add the Mtext symbols.
If your's is still working I'd love to see it. Ours is a custom DLL file from a contracted programmer, so can't share.
But to illustrate the possibilities, ours reads a config file and custom tailors the list to the discipline of the user.
