When you create new drawing & drop in a model view - SolidWorks automatically scales the sheet to "fit" the model view. This becomes the SHEET SCALE of your drawing. There must be some variable that controls the scale of the drawing relative to the size of the fist model view I drop in. I seem to always rescale by 75% or so & it'd be convenient to set this up in my template or format. Is there a way to control this variable? Maybe I got me a bonifide enhancement request...

Close... I want the view to automatically scale, but 75% larger than the default. There's got to be a variable somewhere.

SW probably does that to allow space for dimensions, notes, etc.
