dholcomb Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Is there any way to insert a text object into say a title block which contains the scale of that layer? This way if you change the layer scale to print to a different sized piece of paper the scale field would change along with it. Make sense? Is this something that exists somewhere and I just can't find it? BTW: I am using VW Spotlight v9.5 on Windows. Thanks, David Quote Link to comment
zero Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 and todays date too would be awesome! Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Navigate to your VectorWorks\Object Libraries folder and open the Drafting Tools file. Scale, filename, and date stamps are all in there. Quote Link to comment
dholcomb Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 Close Thanks David. That was almost what I was looking for. But I am looking for actual text. For instance: 1/4" = 1'-0" that could change to: 1/2" = 1'-0" when I change the layer scale. Any suggestions for that? Thanks, David H Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 There is a drawing label symbol in the Drawing Graphics.mcd Object LIbrary file. However, if you change the scale of this layer, you will need to edit the symbol or place a new one in the drawing again as it will not update automatically.

Zeibin Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Is there a way to gain access for the scripts that make those objects? They have some features that I would like to incorporate into some custom PIOs I'm making. Also, I'm using VW11 and they seem to update properly when I change the layer's scale. Is that right? When I place a new drawing label into the file, it's the same size as the ones that were alrady there and have been through the scaling operation. Quote Link to comment
