Active Scale default

My company uses a very old version of Microstation (Ver 5.07, 1998). I want to know if there is some way to set the Active Scale to 1.0 so that I don't have to change it every time I import or copy something into the drawing. So far, I have tried going into the Design File>Active Scale> change it to 1.0, then Save Settings. When I exit and reenter it goes back to 4.0. Any help?

  • Ben did you try creating a new workspace to see if  you get the same issue?

    Did you  look at your start up did you  look inside your workspace.cfg file  with note pad read only ? try copy paste in a post here ...

    Did you look up the settings ( scale) Manager  its a program in mstn .. I think its over riding your design file settings

    One of my users years ago wanted to have certain settings set for the active settings at start  like text size , colour, scale, level number etc and  it was the settings manager that had a text or template  file you  have  to open through mstn  and make the changes.......I dont  have access to the program any more being  100 years old now but I think I still have a text book Inside Mstn 5 that may  have something on the settings manager otherwise the  help would be good place or even one of the  pull down menus ....
