Alright, I am making progress on my automation of our drawings, but I have a question. Is there a way to auto scale a view so that its no closer than 2" from the nearest border (after the view has been centered)?

I have a drawing with a single view in the middle, but my product ranges from 6" to 80", so I want to automate the scale.

I am doing all of this through API, if that helps.

Thanks,
Joe

I don't know. But I stick with standard scales.
