Output Scale from pmk drawing

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 14:05:58 GMT

To All,
I would like to know if it is possible using the output scale of the pmk drawing generated from Archicad automatically displayed somewhere on my titleblock. (Clarification: it is not the regular detail bubble+text automatically generate while importing pmk's).
I.E. I have a 1/4" output scale of my pmk and I would like to match automatically this scale on my titleblock scale box. So, when you importing a new pmk this text is changed accordingly.

Thank you

DR

I do this with drawing titles, and have consequently stoped putting the scale on the title block. One of the issues becomes sheets that have multiple drawings placed. Which drawing would the auto text in the title block pull the scale from? Perhaps there is a better solution out there, but I don't know what it is.

I found that in this digital age most of the printed stuff is NOT to scale. Different paper sizes, printer margins ... and, as usual, human ignorance.

So, the scale I put into the title block is: As shown @A1
