Customized drawing title with embedded graphic scale symbol

Ricardo Lopez
Expert

Hi you all,

 

We need to create a custom drawing title to place in our drawing sheets that has the possibility to include the graphic scale as a symbol and that the horizontal line of the title adapts to the total width of the drawing automatically.
I guess the best way would be to program in GDL, but maybe you know another simpler way.
Any ideas?

 

Thank you in advance.

Regards.

Okay so you have to add the Archicad Legacy Objects library pack to your file.  It won't be loaded in your file unless you start from the AC28 template file.  You need to open your Library Manager and Add...  the Archicad Legacy Objects library pack from C:\Program Files\GRAPHISOFT\Archicad 28\Archicad Legacy Objects folder...  See the images below...

Ricardo, this may not help because I'm using the USA version of Archicad.  In our version we have a drawing title available called "NCS Drawing Title".  In Archicad 28 you need to make sure that you have loaded the Archicad Legacy Objects library pack.  This title seems to have everything you're looking for, with the exception of adding the DESCRIPTIVE TEXT portion of your drawing title.  This one does not allow for that additional text.  So I'm not sure if you can use this drawing title or not for your needs.  I wanted to share it with you though.

@Jeff Thompson I have just downloaded and installed USA version but that title object you mention doesn't have the graphic scale symbol embedded, does it? It is like the one included in the INTernational version.

I mean i could place that graphic scale but as an independent 2d object...
