Auto-updating text based on viewport scale
In our standard title block we have a line that reads 1"=xxx' and it is always reported in inches vs feet as I show. Is there a way that I can get autocad to replace the xxx with scale we are zoomed to? Also if I have multiple viewports is there a way I can assign or choose which viewport that I wish to have the zoomed to scale displayed?

HI,
BY Text Filed you can do that , while you're in the text dialog for editing ( xxx in your case ) right click and select Insert Field option , after that follow the image below . and remember to make Regen command after you change your VP zoom scale .
you have to select the VP that the text read from by the button up there beside object type .

Hey! Thanks for working with me, and this gets me halfway there. Our workflow is to first create a viewport and then insert in the bar scale from the tool pallette. Would you know of a way that I could bring in my bar scale block via the tool pallette and then select the viewport I want my bar scale linked to so that the text would auto update? I have attached an example of our bar scale block for reference. The good thing about this is that I don't ever want the actual bar scale to change just the text that is displayed.

AutoCAD can not do it automatically , you have to link your text with VP.

Our title blocks always say 'scale as noted', while we use the fields method to apply custom scales to viewports as outlined above. Not sure about bars though...
