drawing scale

[ByronU78KM]

I would like to know how to change the listed scale at the bottom-right of the screen using lisp. for example, it reads "1/8"=1'-0" and would like to change it to "1 1/2"=1'-0".  I cannot find a way to change it in a lisp.

Are you talking about CANNOSCALE command

(setvar "cannoscale" "1-1/2\" = 1'-0\"")

Ok I have type this 10 times and it's still an AutoCAD rejected variable. What am I missing?

Try not to type but copy and paste and make sure you have that scale listed before you try

Just figured it out - No dash between 1 and 1/2 its a space

Thank you Byron

You mistyped it: copy/paste the full code line, it works over an over again here
