Display drawing scale in architectural units

[EricatNordic]

How do I set up my drawing template to use architectural units in the view scale instead of a ratio? For instance 1:24 would display as 1/2" = 1'

Hi,

the short answer is "No". The long answer is that since SE is a mechanical
design system, civil and architectural scales were not put into SE so you
are stuck with the ratio system.

.... but internally they are known
Help --> Programming ..

PaperToModelScaleConstants Constant Set
igArch_1_4thInTo1Ft
igArch_1_64thInTo1Ft
igArch_1_8thInTo1Ft
[...]

maybe the only use is for translating to/from ACAD which is able to show
but SE will convert them to a decimal ratio.

Thanks,

Is there anyway to take adavantage of the PaperToModelScaleConstants Constant Set info to make SE do it?

Eric,

not that I know of any. Maybe with some programming it can
be done.
