I've recently been working on a project where it was decided to use graphic scales rather than a statement scale as that remains consistent regardless of what scale it is printed at. We are currently indicating scale in the viewport title with individual view title family types for each scale. This has lead to a few instances of confusion when view scales changed without the viewport title being manually switched to the matching scale type.
current system (revit 2021): viewport title has 1 type for each scale. each of those types have a separate generic annotation family type containing a number of preset graphic scales with their visibility determined by yes/no parameters. the system works, but it's prone to human error due to relying on manually matched viewport family types and view scales.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to make this smart / automatic where changing a view's scale will automatically switch the graphic scale in the view title to the corresponding one.
I'm running into a wall trying to reference view parameters (specifically "view scale" or "scale value" in this case) from within the view title family. If I can pull that value in somehow, I'm fairly sure I could figure out the rest.
If any of you all have alternative ways or workarounds to achieve the same goal that would be most welcome.
