Setting a Viewport Scale

Many of you have been setting a Viewport scale in Paper Space using the Zoom XP option. While valid, there is a much easier way.

1. Click on the Viewport to highlight it, then right-click and pick Properties.
2. Find the Misc section in the palette that shows up
3. Find the Standard scale item in the list and select the scale you want!

Much betterer...

Hey Art,
There is another way that we at ICFP use a lot and find it very easy. Just right click in a blank space at the top of your AutoCAD screen by the toolbars and point at ACAD in the dropdown menu you will see a toolbar named viewports. Just click on it and when you double click in a paperspace window you select your scale from this dropdown of scales.
