Is there a way to get the Autotext to not read from a particular drawing. I have looked for a check box (in drawing settings within layout) to this effect but found none.
Anyone else think this would be a good idea?possibly. 'back-referencing' autotext . . ?

does the order of which the drawings appear in the layout's layout map make any difference to your situation.

Not sure how much this is going to help you mate, because your autotext is on the master layout.
If it was on the layout itself, you could right click on the drawing whose scale you did want, and select 'Set as Autotext Reference'. Then you could edit the text and from the Insert Autotext dialog, choose the 'Reference from...' Category and the 'Drawing Scale Ref.' autotext.
But since the autotext is on your master, you may want to get the Twink out (solid white fill)!
