Is there a reference for adding custom fields anywhere? I want to add the "Scale" information to my titleblock template. The original template that came with the software didn't have this field included. I tried adding a text box with #Scale but it didn't work. Thanks in advance! ~Anita (newby)

You need to use 'auto text'.
Just add the auto text for Drawing Scale.

Actually, no that won't really work.
That auto text needs to be in the drawing view (i.e. your plan or elevation), not your title block which I assume is in the master layout?
If it is in the title block, it will give the scale of every drawing in the layout it seems.

You can limit what shows there by checking a box in the Drawing Selection Settings. Just note that the orders seems to be determined by the order of placed views.
Not sure if there is a better way, but that is how I get my door and window schedules to show the scale for the drawings. I have a view placed at 1:50 off to the side and set the actual drawing to be ignored.

That is great.
I like that.
I haven't noticed that before, but then I don't have the scale in my title blocks.
Each view (drawing) on my layout has its own title and scale.
