view scale options

[moog2]

i had a quick look in customer defaults and preferences, to find if i could set up a list of default scales when adding a base view, but couldn't see anything, is there a way i can set these up?, or a text file i can edit?

You do know that you can manually type in anything you like if you wish don't you?

Not sure if this is what you need but have a go ...

File > Utilities > Customer Defaults
Pick "Drafting" category
Pick "Standard" tab
Pick your drafting standard from the drop down
Hit "Customize Standard"
Then enter your Numerator and Denominator

For info I found this by opening up the Customer Defaults and hitting the binoculars search button and typing in "scale". You might find this useful for other searches...

JonSelby's method is the best one that I'm familiar with for setting the default.

i want to see 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:20, 1:35, 1:50
in the scale drop-down when placing a view, will JonSelby's method do this?
