Q - question

Setting scale for documentation views in AutoCAD.

A - answer Generated documentation views on 3D models behave differently than standard paperspace (layout) viewports. To assign scale not listed in the scale list (e.g. 1:250) you need to add this scale to the list using the SCALELISTEDIT command. Another option is to set the non-standard scale ("Custom") using the VIEWEDIT command (its Scale option) - use mouse double-click on the viewport.

Standard scales can be conveniently assigned from the context ribbon when you double-click on the viewport:
