    Posted: 01.Jun.2018 at 18:50
Hi am trying to import a 1:10 scale bar into a drawing.
I have nearly all other scales but can`t seem to find 1:10 anywhere.
Currently using Autocad LT 17.

Assuming you're talking about Blocks for scale bars, can you just Explode one for a different Scale, Scale or Stretch its contents appropriately, and define it as a new 1:10 Block?  That would take a lot less time than hunting around for one that matches the style and configuration and Layer(s) of the ones you already have.

Hello Glen and Kent, you should find all the scale bars metric and imperial in my drawing : CANOPIES-PJH.dwg here in the site in the CAD/BIM Blocks library.
Lauch a search with : CANOPIES-PJH

I can also see that there are a lot of scale bars files, may be : Scale bar 2015 Dynamic.dwg" should offer you what you want.
It should be a block that you have to INSERT and not copy/paste and that you can set by a clic on it to let appear the blue triangle that gives you access to the different values.
If you insert it in your model space you will have to scale it at the same scale as the detail drawn.

Hello Glen, in fact you should see the AutoCAD Block :
SCALE BAR 01.dwg in the CAD/BIM Blocks library.
