Section View Styles Showing Scales in Title text

Hi,

 

I am working on setting up exagerated (10X) section views. I would like to show the horizontal and vertical scale below each section.  I have used the code below in the Axis Title Text.  The horizontal scale displays correctly (taken from the overall drawing scale)

 

How would i edit the vertical code below to show the vertical scale 10 times smaller?

 

 

SCALE: HORIZONTAL  = 1:<[Drawing Scale(P0|RN|AP|GC|UN|OF)]>

              VERTERTICAL  = 1:<[Drawing Scale(P0|RN|AP|GC|UN|OF)]>  

 

Many Thanks.

Hi Jay,

 

Thanks for the reply. It is not exactly what i am after. Let me try to explain a bit better.

 

In a drawing with the scale set to 1:2000. 

 

The code:

 

SCALE: HORIZONTAL  = 1:<[Drawing Scale(P0|RN|AP|GC|UN|OF)]>

              VERTERTICAL  = 1:<[Drawing Scale(P0|RN|AP|GC|UN|OF)]> 

 

Write the following to the section view........

 

SCALE: HORIZONTAL  = 1:2000

              VERTERTICAL  = 1:2000

 

Your suggested code

 

SCALE: HORIZONTAL  = 1:<[Drawing Scale(P0|RN|AP|GC|UN|OF)]>

               VERTICAL   = 1:<[Graph View Vertical Exaggeration(P0|RN|AP|GC|UN|OF)]>

 

Writes the following to the section view........

 

SCALE: HORIZONTAL  = 1:2000

              VERTERTICAL  = 1:10

 

I am looking for the code to write the following to the section view

 

SCALE: HORIZONTAL  = 1:2000

              VERTERTICAL  = 1:200

 

I hope this is clear. Sometimes it can be dificult to explain just using text....

 

 

Many thanks for any help.

Use the GraphViewVerticalScale property.

It appears to me you do not need to calculate anything if you just want the vertical and horizontal scale text to show:

 

Horizontal =  

Vertical  =

 

Go to the Section View Style and under the Annotation tab add it to the TITLE CONTENT.  I have my Station Number here and the notations can be centered just below it.

Problem solved.... many thanks for all replies

Jeff_M solved it with the GraphViewVerticalScale property.

 

VERTICAL  = 1:<[GraphViewVerticalScale(P0|RN|AP|GC|UN|OF)]> 

 

It was right under my nose all the time!

Thanks for reply. I did have the scale text in the Title Annotation but i wanted the title to be 3.5mm and the scale text to be 2.5mm. Hence i put the scales into the Axis title text area.

 

 

Many Thanks,
