This might not be allowed with the CA License but the following should make the CA fonts available from other programs (at least in High Sierra):

0) Open up a terminal shell,

1) cd "/Applications/Chief Architect Premier X10.app/Contents/Resources/Fonts"

2) cp *.ttf /Library/Fonts

That's it.

I found a solution... one that was described earlier in the thread (creating a "special" layer), sending it to layout page 0, and positioning the text as required.

Apologies for wasting everyone's time.

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.

I'm using the Mac version of X7.
