Global Variable (or REQUEST) needed for scale

Please consider adding the following global variable...
a. OUTPUT SCALE as a number (1/4"-1'-0" would return 48, etc)
I am in need of using the output scale to create a graphic scale
currently this variable only returns a STRING "1/4:=1'-0"

This number is already available to the system as evidenced in the scale dialog itself.

Ok... I used the LOOKUP table version (long hand if... then)… And it seemed to work, but here's what I noticed...

If I CHANGE the scale of the drawing, the if .. then does NOT recalculate... so my graphic scale is inaccurate.

I know there is something about MODPAR that may be able to help me... but I'll have to save it for another day...

Another note is that AC_DRAWING_SCALE is only available for Drawing Titles...
