Place Drawing frame Defaults

[Anonymous]

hi there,

When i place a drawing into my layout book, it always comes out so that the drawing frame is set to 'manually resized frame', instead of fit frame to drawing.
Even when i pre-select all the correct settings. quite annoying.

How can i change so that the place drawing frame setting is always set to 'fit frame to drawing'

Thanks.

Change the default setting in the drawing tool.

Hi Matthew, Thanks for your reply. I have done that. But every time it defaults back when i insert a drawing?!?!

What about if you don't set the zooming to "None" when you save (or update settings of) the view?

Hi Stuart,

Yeah i have tried that aswell. I assume that works for you?

It is fine once i have inserted it. ie it will update to the frame size.

It is just the initial placement.

not a major drama, i was just checking to see it there was another way to change the default

Hi Dwayne

Just tested it 'cos I was only guessing. Saved a view of a plan with "None" in the zooming selection. Went to my Layout Book. Set the drawing settings to "Fit frame to drawing". Dragged the view onto a layout, and it did exactly that.

Chur, indeed, oi!

Hi Stuart,

Yeah that has worked for me. however i dont like that setting because I like to be able to navigate my way around an area of building im working on without it zooming to extents or the saved view.

thanks for taking the time to help. Appreciate it!

Go the Canes!!

I prefer to have the zoom saved, then I know what I'm going to be looking at when I go to the view. Sometimes annoying when you were zoomed in close to an area you particularly want to see, but there's always the "zoom previous" button.

Go the 'Nix!
