Is there away to add architectural scale factors for 20 work stations?

I added the architectural scale factors to my work station. Is there away to add architectural scale factors for 20 work stations?

you can write a lisp routine that uses "-scaleeditlist" that will then add, set the name, then the scale and just run it on all machines.

There is also probably a file somewhere in the support directory that controls the available scale sizes.

Hi "kschultz"

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD 2007 General forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

Hi

Take a look at the following thread...

Customizing the the viewport scale tools bar for all users

Have a good one, Mike

another way is create to create a toolbar or a pull down menu that has the scale factors with them, lets say you want 1/4" = 1'-0' the pull down will read something like this:

***MENUGROUP=test

***POP16
ID_AST48 [1/4]^C^CFILEDIA 0^CSCRIPT 48;^CFILEDIA 1;AQ4
[--]


then you would need a script file that contains the code for dimscale, linetypes, dimasz size etc. i uploaded the script file 1/4", be-careful on using the spacebar in the script file, each time you press the spacebar it will act as the enter command

also here is what my icon command looks like

ID_UserButton_6 [_Button("1/4", "ICON4827.bmp", "ICON_16_BLANK")]^C^CFILEDIA 0^CSCRIPT 48;^CFILEDIA 1;AQ4

the AQ4 for command sets the text to the style that we need, and the height.
see below

(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(command "-style" "ARCHQUIK" "ARCHQUIK.shx" "4" "1" "" "" "" "")
(prompt "ntttt ***The text style is now set to Archquik for 1/4 scale.")
(princ)
)

so play around with it, when you get the scales to how u like them and all agree upon them, put them on the server, the modify the autocad's path to look for them on the server for all the computers.


sry for the caps in the programming statements, but thats how i keep tract on what was done before i tool over the programming for my company
