Help with "RTEXT" and "Dimscale"...

Help with "RTEXT" and "Dimscale"...

Help with "RTEXT" and "Dimscale"...

(OP)
ok...need help please...what i am try to do is use rtext in my title block for the scale...but the trick is this...

example:
my dimscale is set at 10, but i need my "SCALE:" in the title block to show "SCALE: 1/20" because of the paper size used we use (i know it is stupid, but it is not my system and i can't change it)...

so...i need my diesel expression to GETVAR "dimscale" and multiply it by 2 and put it behind "SCALE: 1/ "...

can someone help...also, if you can figure it out, what is the code to divide the "dimscale" by 2...????

thanks...

Here is the diesel expression...

$(*,$(getvar, dimscale), 2)
