[Solved] How to get scale higher than 99:1 in TechDraw

Post by mikkamakka »

Hi everybody, I am working on some miniature parts, where I measure things in microns. Sometimes it would be really handy to share a technical drawing. Unfortunately the highest scale I was able to set is 99:1, and I can't enlarge the Projections any more. Is there any settings, or trick, which could break this barrier, and allow scales higher than 100?

I made some further tests: In the ProjectionGroup dialog the limit is indeed 99, but you can increase it in the properties tab.

Many thanks, Chris! That's right! Though some times ago I had trouble setting it to 100 in the Properties (99 was OK then), but in the current version 28929(Git), it works!
