Plotmaker AUTOTEXT

Anonymous
Not applicable
I love the AutoText feature of PM. When I place an autotext, I see at the bottom Custom 1, 2, and 3. What are these and how are they used??

Can I select a certain piece of text or a letter or number on one drawing to be used as AutoText on another?? It seems you can only select a drawing on a layout for an AutoText reference, but can you select items on that drawing??

Drawing Scale and Output Scale will always display
"1:1." For PlotMaker all other AUTOTEXT items will work correctly in
both Projects/Drawings and in Master Layouts/Layout.

I just wanted to be clear that Drawingscale command just doesn't work
at all or does it when you print the document?
I have been using the drawing scale in the titles and it picks up the scale of the imported drawing. perhaps you could use this method
