Text that displays scale of the viewport on multiple sheets.

[jboyceQPURR]

I created a field within a block that pulls the scale from a viewport. The idea is to have 50-100 sheets, and each title below the detail will show the scale of the viewport. The idea was to create the block/field title on one page, and just duplicate that sheet/tab 100 times. I figured each page would be able to change and update the field. But every sheet references to the first page.

How to i make each field reference it's own viewport? Instead of referring to the ones on the first page. I don't want to manually explode each block and update the field reference to the viewport above it. Also you can't edit blocks in place.

Was this done through Sheet set at Models View tab?

Can you post an example drawing showing what you just describe on your  first post

I did not use sheet sets. This is all in paperspace with one file. See the attached drawing. Every tab should have a scale below the viewport that shows the scale in the viewport, but they all point back to the first page for some reason.

I used the attached attribute block.

On the modified sample drawing. Check the last tab named "Copy of D1", that's where you will see the difference.

How did you insert a field into the attribute after the block was made?

Nothing special, same way you did with the text field value, "insert field", only difference is , its an attribute.

When you create a copy of the tab, it will evaluates the scale value on the newly created tab.

A normal behavior for fields
