We recently upgraded from ADT 3.3 to ADT 2005.
One of my peers is asking how he can control the viewport scaling in a similar fashion to the previous release we were on. Specifically, the box where one could specify exact scaling---but not necessarily "to scale". (Some of the drawing we work on have viewports that are not meant to be to any real scale.)
Previously, when highlighting a viewport, this box (in the viewports toolbar) would give you a scale factor, usually the the thousandth of a unit [ .041666 is an example (which is also the architect's version of 1:20 scale]. My associate used to use this box to tweak the scale factor ever so slightly, and he is hoping for a way to do this again in the new version. I have found how to scale using the usual scale factors (using the properties toolbar), but the info shows only "custom scale" when the scale is not one of the recognized scale types.
Help...?
