Once our drawings are finished... how can I add in a page a graphical scale object?
If I add it, it is extremely big... If I add it to the model view, it is very small... If I have a view in a page with a scale, I want a scale next to it, that's all.
I suppose it will be very easy, but I have no idea...
Thank you!!

Here is one idea:
Create a new Worksheet Viewpoint, set it to your desired scale, place the Graphic Scale object and save it as a View with desired settings.
Then you can place this View on the various Layouts as a Drawing.

You can also switch on the graphical scale in the drawing title.
Found in the view's Drawing Settings under 'Additional Data' in the Title tab.
This setting isn't available in 'Simple Title 14', so make sure you have a different title selected for the view if you want to use this option.

Thank you MMontgomery, but in my ArchiCAD, none of my drawing title has the additional data tab.
Notice that I'm using the spanish version.

Oh I see. I didn't realize they would have differences like that.
Cheers!
