AUTO_TEXT for All Drawing Scales on Layout Sheet.

[Anonymous]

INSERT AUTO TEXT OPTION for PM:
NEW FUNCTION = INSERT SCALES FOR ALL DRAWINGS on Current Layout separated with commas, or something else
This Auto_Text_Option is needed in Sheet Stamp.

When we have one master that we use for all drawings, with different scales on different pages, we have to copy/paste the respective scale manually into our otherwise fully autotexted-up TB, it is a waste of time. At least the <DRAWINGSCALE> Autotext should read the one (if only one) drawing scale on its respective sheet and fill itself out correctly no?

PM9 don't check how many drawings are on Layout when you use <DRAWINGSCALE>. Autotext is just manually linked to only one drawing that you set as autotext reference on the

respective sheet.
My wish is just to have a possibility to choose between "manually set separate drawings as autotext" and "specific autotext for all drawings on a sheet".
Also it would be great to make possibility to set all selected drawings as autotext reference.

I haven't got drawing scale - and set drawing as autotext reference on a respective sheet to work yet, will have to try again. Is this in the particular drawing settings box?

Will check it out., thanks - A

To insert autotext for drawings just click on drawing for that you need autotext, right-click with mouse on it, then from context menu choose set as reference. Choose Text Tool and create a text box from >Edit_menu>>Insert AutoText for " "> choose AutoText that you need for your drawing(for exp. Output Scale). You can also find AutoText List in the context menu after right-clicking in TextBox string.
Good luck!
