insert actual view scale in an annotation

When I'm putting a text on a drawing i can insert a parameter inside the text.

Unfortunately I can only find a link to "sheet - sheet scale" but the not the actual view scale.

Is there a way to insert this?

The only way is to use the view label. In the view label text editor you can get the view scale. After making it visible, you can drag the text to any location.

My previous team's title block used a custom iProperty as value for the scale field. If you translate your scale (via iLogic as shown below, or manually) to an iProperty you can then use it more freely in annotations text boxes/etc.

 

Sample for adding scale into a custom iProperty via iLogic:

Though the Answers do the trick, these are workarounds.

Sad to see the feature is missing in inventor.

You can create multiple Base views and change view scales for different views in the same sheet. Therefore it is not straightforward to simply get one property assigned to it that you can use. The "sheet - sheet scale" you found is at least something you can set in stone to reuse.
Sure, more functionality would be great, but we have to understand how any property for scale would become obsolete as soon as new views with different scales come in or you change the original/first base view's.
