Assembly view scale list

The permitted view scales list for the assembly view.

  • Table list: the user can add the permitted scales as a list in a format x1:y1;x2:y2;x3:y3, etc.

  • The separator is ";"

  • Up to 50 scales are allowed (~300 characters).

  • If zero or negative scales are added, they are ignored.

  • If an error is made in the format, the system skips to the next ";" and continues the search.

  • If there are duplicate values, the system deletes them.

  • The list always contains the scale 1:1 (even if it was never entered).

  • The system sorts the scale values in ascending order of size.

Show PMI

By default the option is selected and also shows PMI at lower levels.
