Graphic Scale Visability

Seiss Wagner — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 07:25:17 GMT

I am using "Title With Layout No 10" , found in the Title Tab, of the Drawing Selections Dialog, in the 987 USA Full version of AC10. How do you get the graphic scale to show? I can see the selection dots for the graphic scale, but I can find no way to make the scale visible.

It looks like "Title With Layout No 10" also calls the "Graphic_Sc_NCS_drawTit" macro. See this thread:

Sorry Seiss, this is a bug. I have reported it to Graphisoft and encourage you to do the same. The stock title types are a mess of crappy code. I refuse to fix Graphisoft's objects for them but I know others have begun to take matters into their own hands. Can someone please post a working title object, preferably one they made from scratch, just to help the rest of us get the gist of how they (should) work.

Thanks for your replies. What can I say, just another example of poor quality controle in library management from Graphisoft, and its just one of numerous examples.
