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...

Well, it does not seem that the two issues are related. The missing graphic scale @ 6"=1'-0" scale was simply a case of a line of missing code:

! ======= Architectural =========
IF sc_a_1<>0 THEN GOSUB 100:
IF sc_a_2<>0 THEN GOSUB 105: !!LJY
!!IF A_=2 AND ut="Architectural" THEN GOSUB 105:
IF sc_a_3<>0 THEN GOSUB 110:
IF sc_a_4<>0 THEN GOSUB 115:
!!IF A_=12 AND ut="Architectural" THEN GOSUB 120:
IF sc_a_5<>0 THEN GOSUB 125:
IF sc_a_6<>0 THEN GOSUB 130:
IF sc_a_7<>0 THEN GOSUB 135:
IF sc_a_8<>0 THEN GOSUB 140:
IF sc_a_9<>0 THEN GOSUB 145:
IF sc_a_10<>0 THEN GOSUB 150:
IF sc_a_11<>0 THEN GOSUB 155:
IF sc_a_12<>0 THEN GOSUB 160:
IF sc_a_13<>0 THEN GOSUB 175:

At first glance, the problem @ 1 1/2"=1'-0" scale does not seem to be related to the macro...

OK -- It's got something to do with the space in "1 1/2" -- this is why it is displaying the dual scales -- but this is starting to go beyond my knowledge of GDL...

[Laura Yanoviak]

It may or may not have anything to do with the space -- I've exhausted my options, and am now at a complete loss -- any help would be appreciated -- LJY.

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

Download the example file from NCS-Office.
Check the drawing title.
If you like it, than use it.

where do we download this example from? and when you insert this object into the title block, does it recognize the scale from the drawing the title is attached to? I found it impossible to get that to work using the other graphic scales included in the AC library.

You can link out of help in AC.
You can use it if you want. Title is also one file to change or use it.

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...

Unless this file has been updated (I downloaded it 2 months ago), the Drawing Title object has the same error as the the one included in the AC10 library.
