Hi All
What determines what scale is used on placing the1st view on a drawing.
Generally we us A3 size paper for single component drawings.
When I bring a part into the drawing I usually (but not always) have to go to the model sheet properties and change the scale so it looks better on the drawing.
For example on one part I brought it in and the scale was 20:1 so it looked tiny on the drawing.
So I had to change this to 10:1 to make it look better.
What determines the initial scale on placing the 1st view?
Thanks

IMO, it decides based on the sheet size vs model size. I've no idea as what goes in the background.
It could be nice enhancement to set the scale from a given list or something like that which is more of a standard scale.
