Drawing Scale(s)
(OP)
Hello,
Is there a way I can set a specified scale for a drawing sheet when creating a new drawing? It seems when I drag and drop assy's or parts into a drawing template, it scales at random. Example 1: I have a part that's 2x3x6 and drop it into a "D" size drawing template. It's scale is 4:1. Example 2: Example 1: I have a part that's 2x3x7 and drop it into a "D" size drawing template. It's scale is 2:1. I know the part is a little longer, but automatically changes the scale from 4:1 to 2:1. I don't get it?
Thank you,

But.....define "When Cleared"
"When cleared, the views are inserted at the scale of the drawing sheet."

When the Automatically scale new drawing views option is NOT selected in Tools > Options > System Options > Drawings
