Linking notes to Scale and Detail views

Linking notes to Scale and Detail views

(OP)
Hi all!

Ok...on a drawing, I have two different notes notes grouped. Both notes are linked to Custom Properties.I need to link these notes to View Scale.

Example of 2 notes:

R62636W8
SCALE 1:4  I need to link these notes to the View Scale

In the Detailed drawing this is below the drawing:

DETAIL C
SCALE 1:2   Details view have scale linked to the view. I need to achieve this for plain views by creating  note.

Really sorry if this info is confusing.

Thanks in advance for all yer help.

RE: Linking notes to Scale and Detail views

Usually detail and section view labelss have scale values embedded in them.  I leave them alone.

To add additional info to a view label, I make a separate note and then group the labels together (select both labels, right-click and select "Group").  Be sure that you use "Lock View Focus" to ensure your text labels belong to the view you are labelling.

RE: Linking notes to Scale and Detail views

I actually submitted an enhancement request when a drawing view is taken out of scale it places a scale view text.  I always set my ISO views at 3/4 scale.
