Linking notes to Scale and Detail views 2

[Ripper2]

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.

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.

Here's a macro that may give you want you want, at least for labelling of the views (it doesn't provide any way to autoupdate if the view scale is changed):

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.
