Scale

Use parent scale. Applies the same scale used for the parent view. If you change the scale of a parent view, the scale of all child views that use the parent scale is updated.

Use sheet scale. Applies the same scale used for the drawing sheet.

Use custom scale. Applies a scale that you define. If you select User Defined, type a scale in the box below in the following format: x:x or x/x. Select Use model text scale to maintain the geometry used in the annotation views in parts.

The pre-set options in Use custom scale differ based on the dimensioning standard.
