Is a custom scale retained when the sheet scale is modified?

When the sheet scale is modified in SolidWorks, a custom scale does not remain intact; it is overridden. This is because the sheet scale sets a standard reference for all views on the sheet, and any custom scale set for individual views can become inconsistent once the overall scale of the sheet changes.

In practice, when you establish a custom scale for a specific view, that scale becomes relative to the original sheet scale. If the sheet scale is altered afterwards, the custom scale loses its significance in relation to the new scale and is thus overridden to reflect the changes made to the sheet. This ensures that all views remain consistent and properly aligned according to the revised sheet settings, which is crucial for clarity and accuracy in technical drawings.

The other options, such as the custom scale being retained for certain view types or only for linked views, are inaccurate because they imply a level of flexibility that does not exist when the overall sheet scale is modified. Hence, once the sheet scale is changed, all custom scales are effectively overridden.
