Block with annotative scale label

[pathA99VU]

Is it possible to create a block including an attribute that changes with whatever the annotative scale the block is?

In other words, a block with text that displays the block's annotative scale and changes as the block annotative scale changes.

 I have tried with fields but not too many elements have their annotative scales as part of what can be used in a field.

Share with everyone here a screenshot of what you want that to look like and where it would be please (fudge it for now if needed), and confirm if you want this in PAPER or MODEL space and where this "annotative scale" would be called from exactly.


Share your progress block in a DWG file too if one exists.

we do not use sheet sets, so that is not an option

we do not use paper space for detail call outs, so that is not an option.

Oh yea, forgot about the issue that the block could have multiple scales associated with it complicating this. So, what if there were only one scale? This may be more trouble than it's worth..

how's about using Field and referencing current annotation scale value?

What's your ultimate goal?

Do you want to identify blocks that do not have the current annoscale assigned?

need the object's annotation scale not the current one

I typically set the objects annotation scale to reflect the current one so there won’t be any discrepancies.

the goal is to have whatever the block's annotation scale is to be shown in the block's 1"=1'-0" attribute in the above screengrab. So, if the block's annotation scale changes it is reflected in the attribute. Similar to the method of using a field to show a viewport's scale.

OK, lucky you. THIS method works.

You need to have the att with the Multiple lines property allowed. The property name is AnnotativeScale.
