'Graphic scale' macro bug in NCS title object

Ignacio Azpiazu — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 01:06:37 GMT

In AC 10 (I hadn't tried it in AC 9) the graphic scale is disappearing from the title when the drawing scale is set to 1":10', 1":20', etc.

Anybody encountered this before and fixed it?

I'm having my own problems with this macro:

archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=11796

and did recently notice in my investigations that none of the Engineering scales seem to work. It's the zero inches (-0") within the STRSTR statements (drawingScale does not include zero inches, so all values= 0 and no scale is being inserted). I erased the culprets and now the Engineering scales appear.

Now if I could only get the duplicate scales problem fixed...

How do you delete the "STRSTR" statements?
Where is that located?
Thx,

They are within the Graphic_Sc_NCS_drawTit macro:

IF ut = "Engineering" THEN

	sc_e_1 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `1'-0"`)
	sc_e_2 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `2'-0"`)
	sc_e_3 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `5'-0"`)
	sc_e_4 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `10'-0"`)
	sc_e_5 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `20'-0"`)
	sc_e_6 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `30'-0"`)
	sc_e_7 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `40'-0"`)
	sc_e_8 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `50'-0"`)
	sc_e_9 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `60'-0"`)
	sc_e_10 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `80'-0"`)
	sc_e_11 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `100'-0"`)
	sc_e_12 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `160'-0"`)
	sc_e_13 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `200'-0"`)
	sc_e_14 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `500'-0"`)
	sc_e_15 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `1000'-0"`)
	sc_e_16 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `1250'-0"`)
	sc_e_17 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `2500'-0"`)
	sc_e_18 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `5000'-0"`)
ENDIF

I removed all of the`-0"` from the scales:

IF ut = "Engineering" THEN

	sc_e_1 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `1'`)
	sc_e_2 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `2'`)
	sc_e_3 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `5'`)
	sc_e_4 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `10'`)
	sc_e_5 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `20'`)
	sc_e_6 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `30'`)
	sc_e_7 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `40'`)
	sc_e_8 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `50'`)
	sc_e_9 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `60'`)
	sc_e_10 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `80'`)
	sc_e_11 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `100'`)
	sc_e_12 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `160'`)
	sc_e_13 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `200'`)
	sc_e_14 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `500'`)
	sc_e_15 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `1000'`)
	sc_e_16 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `1250'`)
	sc_e_17 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `2500'`)
	sc_e_18 = STRSTR(drawingScale, `5000'`)
ENDIF

Where do I find this 'NCS title object' in AC10int as I'm very keen to to use the linear scale on the drawing title (it was on one of my wishlists).

I currently only have basic, framing title, linear and stamp title available.

thanks

Here is the NCS title Object along with its macro.

NCS title Object also gives just the original
scale, but if you are scaling it in the layout
it still gives the original value.
