Drawing Scale Object

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello all.
We are working on A1 worksheets which most often we are printing them on A3 (50%). I am trying to create an object that shows the scale in both paper sizes as and it would look like:

A1 / 1:100
A3 / 1:200

It is simple to compose the first line with the usage of autotext (<DRAWINGSCALE>) but the actuall text in GDL is "<DRAWINGSCALE>" so i can't use the "1:100" value to SPLIT the text and then convert the "100" to number to multiply it and compose the other line.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hello,

It is not possible to read the actual content
of an autotext.

Tyvärr.
