  1. Hello there!
    Is possible to explain somebody what should I change
    to load my own custom scale list automatically every time
    I make a new drawing?

    thank you VERY much...


    Petros.

    I'm guessing that you print from model space?
    If you used paperspace to print, you would never have to change the
    scale, because you would always print at a 1:1 scale, you would just
    change you zoom factor in your viewports.

    I'm won't go into detail yet, as I am not sure if this is what you are
    specifically talking about, or would like to change over to paperspace
    printing.

    what i do for this and all other types of problems of this kind is this:
    (this works of you always draw the same type of drawings)

    just create a file, and put in it everything you need to start all of your
    drawings, set all layers, and all dimenisons,
    set printer settings....everything.... you can even put some blocks u use
    frequently, some text u always use....

    i think it even saves all autocad settings u use

    and then every time u want to start the new drawing, just open this file and
    save it as a new name u want to use,
    (keep the file)...and thats about it
