I'm a new user and am struggling to figure out how to properly add the printed scale to a layout. My preference is to have the printed scale display in the template layout box for Scale. Seems a perfectly reasonable thing.
Unfortunately,
%scale%, on the layout template page, simply reports what has been specified in "Print -> Drawing Sheet Setup" for layout. Not terribly useful.
The layout object name, box_scale, displays the scale ay which the plan was sent to layout. Also not useful for me.
%scale%, on the plan page, displays the printed scale, *but* it is displayed within the layout box for the plan. Also not what I want.
Is there a simple mechanism to place the printed scale in the template layout? (I did discover that if I place %scale% at the location of the template scale box I get what I want... but this seems a convoluted way to achieve the deisred result.
Apologies for asking what I suspect has already been answered, but I haven't been able to locate an answer that works for me.
Thanks.
