scale format in placed drawings

Anonymous

Is it possible to change the scale format in automatically placed title blocks of drawings? The current format is say 1/4"=1'-0" or 1"=10'. I would like to change this to read 1:48 or 1:120 when the title block is placed.

Switch to Metric as units. Make sure to keep your dimensions in Imperial.

Thanks Djordje, as usual you make the seemingly complicated quite simple.

I am curious. Why/where do you need to do that?

[If the drawing is going to be read by metric guys, the scales would be 1:50 and 1:125.]
