All,
I am having trouble locating where the default idws pull the scale info from the drawing view. I want to populate my title block with scale, but when I try to edit the text in the format dialog box "view lable properties" is not an option see attachment untitled 2. See attachment untitled for the default idw properties which I am trying to emulate. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance!!
In my company we have an iLogic rule. It creates a custom iProperty in the drawing containing the scale of the first view. Then we have a custom property in our template refering to that scale property.
For this to work, the scale will be taken from the view named VIEW1 - if there isn't one, it doesn't work (I'm not iLogic wizard enough to add more views yet)
'If ActiveSheet.View=("VIEW1") Then Dim strScale As String = ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").ScaleString iProperties.Value("custom", "1st view scale") = strScale 'end if
Good luck!
See this, your solution are on the "Being Inventive Autodesk Blog" with an Ilogic rule : Being Inventive Link
See you
