SetScale method is broken in Rhino 8

Hi,

I used “SetScale” method in rhino 7. It worked fine. In rhino 8 it does not set the scale anymore.

You can see the bug with this example:

Hi @Ludovic,

The attached Python script seems to work.

test_addlayout.py (1.1 KB)

What am I missing?

Hi Dale,

Thanks, after some tests it appears that calling twice “pageview.SetActiveDetail(detail.Id);”
will let the scaling work in Rhino7 but not in Rhino 8. You can see it by opening this file in both Rhino 7 and Rhino 8:

Of course it does not make sense to call this method twice, but for some reason my code was written like that (with other stuffs in between). I will edit my code to call it only once and that will do the fix. However I don’t see why calling it twice affects the behaviour of “SetScale” in Rhino 8…
