Error with NCS Drawing Title

[Laura Yanoviak]

Anyone run across this yet? Seems to have to do with the Graphic_Sc_NCS_drawTit Macro: @ 1 1/2" = 1'-0" scale, the drawing title appears as attached, and @ 6" = 1'-0" scale, the graphic scale disappears altogether (seems to be OK at all other scales). This is a new discovery and I'll be investigating further...

very strange...no mistake for me.
I like this title.
Why does GS do this job originally?

OK -- now it's happening @ 1/16" scale -- it'll be really sad if I have to resort to pasting white fills over all of my extra scales...

Laura,
I have been struggling with this as well, but I have not found the Graphic_Sc_NCS_drawTit object inorder to edit it, but if this can be found, comparing the code with the Graphic Scale NCS 10 object (which seems to work at all the scales you have mentioned) might solve the problem. If you have located the Graphic_Sc_NCS_drawTit.gsm file, please let me know where it find it, and I will continue my efforts to fix this

Scott -- It is located within the Object Library 10\MACROS 10 \Marker Macros 10. I did compare the two scale objects, but didn't find any discrepancies that would indicate that there was anything wrong with the Graphic_Sc_NCS_drawTit.gsm script.

I will check the drawing title out from the NCS-Office Library...

I check most of my other scales, I'm only having this problem at 1 1/2" = 1'-0". Also Laura, did you explode, extract (or whatever they call it now) your library to find the Graphic_Sc_NCS_drawTit.gsm file? My library doesn't even show the folders you mentioned.

I hadn't had a problem with the 1/16" scale until yesterday.

Yes, I did extract the library container file -- Graphic_Sc_NCS_drawTit.gsm can also be found under "Drawing Symbol" within the Subtype Hierarchy.

It's hard to believe that no one else is having this problem...

OK -- I think I've got the cause, if not the solution.

It has to do with the string function STRSTR in the macro. Because both the 1/2"=1'-0" and the 1 1/2"=1'-0" scales contain `1/2"`, both statements return a value <>0, and so 2 scales are inserted.

I don't know why I'm having a problem with the 1/16" scale, hopefully just an error on my part whilst trying to figure this one out.

Allrighty (as I reply to myself once again) --

The error @ 1/16" scale has to do with me putting the 6" scale statement back into the script. As above, both STRSTR statements contain `6"`, hence the double scale. So it appears someone at GS was conscience enough of this error to remove the 6" scale statement, but didn't bother to fix it.

It appears that GS has fixed the macro with the latest update (10.04.06) -- now if they would only post the "changes since last update" so I could go ahead with it...
