Is it possible to customise the list of "standard" scales, which do not relate to a metric environment? I believe this is straightforward in AutoCAD full version, but am not sure about LT - I tried the mnu file shown below, adapted from an old post by Noel Donagh relating to ACAD 2002, but I couldn't get it to work ---- I am also having trouble selecting the viewport, in order to lock the viewport scale (from "properties"). It is not a problem in drawings I create from scratch, but drawings created by others (eg in an earlier version) do not always allow me to select the invisible border of the viewport, even after I resave them in 2004LT file format. I normally "select all" from paper space and then scroll through the list at the top of "Properties" in order to isolate the viewport. ("Help" wrongly states that the viewport properties will come up simply by double clicking within the viewport) I don't understand why the viewport boundary can be hidden, when there are no hidden layers TIA // // AutoCAD menu file - C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application //Data\Autodesk\AutoCADLT2004\R9\enu\Support\myscale.mnu // ***MENUGROUP=MYSCALE ***POP1 [Scale] [--] ID_1_100_0 [1:100]^C^Cms zoom 1/100xp ID_1_75_0 [1:75]^C^Cms zoom 1/75xp ID_1_50_0 [1:50]^C^Cms zoom 1/50xp ID_1_25_0 [1:25]^C^Cms zoom 1/25xp ID_1_20_0 [1:20]^C^Cms zoom 1/20xp ID_1_10_0 [1:10]^C^Cms zoom 1/10xp ID_1_5_0 [1:5]^C^Cms zoom 1/5xp ID_1_0 [<-1]^C^Cms zoom 1xp [--] ***TOOLBARS //
