Does anyone know how to get the scale on a drawing to be like 1:x or x:1. At the moment my drawing sheet shows the scale as x.000.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

In ADVANCED --> DRAW SETUP find the VIEW_SCALE_FORMAT and change it to fractional.

Has this worked?

Set these options in your drawing detail (.dtl) file:

view_scale_denominator 100
view_scale_format RATIO_COLON
