Hello!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have pretty much self taught TBC and am using it for my surveying and drafting needs.

I am currently getting into more "advanced" drawings (multiple Dynaviews, scales, etc) and I'm trying to figure out how to manage the scales. For instance:

Page 1 is an overview, set at a scale of 1" = 800'. I set my text scale to sheet size of 0.11 (as mandated by century code), Plot Scale is set at 800' (in settings)

Page 2 is a blow up of part of the property, scale is 1" = 400', I set my next scale again to sheet size of 0.11, plot scale is then set to 400'

The problem I have, is that every time I want to print to PDF, or even adjust things on each page, I need to go in and change the Plot Scale. There has to be a way to tie it to the dynaview/page scale vs just one Plot Scale, I'm sure its something simple and I just haven't figured it out.

I appreciate any feedback you may have!
