Custom Autotext for paper dimension

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello there.

I am currently using ArchiCAD 18 and I came across something I couldn't figure out how to do.

In the Layout pages I created a custom text to write the title of the drawing, then scale of it and lastly, the size. An example would be

Ground Floor Plan: 1:50 at A3.

Thing is, the A3 text is not an autotext, it's a simple one. Is it possible to make it an autotext so that if I change my master from an A3 one into an A4 one for example, the text will change automatically?

Thank you!

Hi, I see this is from a while back, but did you get any feedback on this?

I am struggling with the same problem, and hoped it would be possible to get the name of the master layout as auto text. Then you could just name the masters as A4, A3, A2 and so on.
