    - Print Preparation - Viewport Scales

    When using Print Preparation, you can define and select from a list of Scales in the "Add Rectangular Viewport" command, separate from the Plot Scales defined by a Geospatial Administrator Schema or DGNLIB file.

    The scales presented in the list and those available at placement time are defined by a Workspace variable pointing to an XML file containing the appropriate scales. If this variable is not defined or the file is not found then the software provides certain built-in scales. The scale value will be calculated by NumDgnUnits / NumPaperUnits. If the unit in PaperUnitName and DgnUnitName is different, the values will be converted to the same unit first.

    MS_GEOXFM_BORDER_SCALE_DOMAINLIST_FILE XML file describing the scales for the project.

    The file is of the format below.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"
    ?>
    <Scales name="BorderScales">
    <scale DisplayName="1"=400'" name="1in=400'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="400.0" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=200'" name="2in=200'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="200.0" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=100'" name="3in=100'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="100.0" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=50'" name="4in=50'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="50.0" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=25'" name="5in=25'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="25.0" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=20'" name="6in=20'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="20.0" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=8'" name="7in=8'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="10.0" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=4'" name="8in=4'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="5.0" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=2'" name="9in=2'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="2.5" />
    <scale DisplayName="1"=1'" name="10in=1'" PaperUnitName="Inches"
    NumPaperUnits="1.0" DgnUnitName="Feet" NumDgnUnits="1.25" />
    </Scales>
