Been updating the old title block to be a bit more automatic to save sometime I insert fields into the block attributes to give me the data I wanted as follows
Insert Copyright Year
Insert Drawing Name
Inserting blanks as per link
Inserted Drawing Scale as per this video
Updated the scale bar values to update based on the scale as well
I did look at using a diesel expression first for the scale calculation but this did not work as the object ID is turned to a number straight away and the link to the viewport is broken here are some links on diesel for future reference anyway

ReplyDeleteI had a go at reporting the viweport scale to text yesterday as well (great minds think alike?).
One thing I noticed is that you can 'nest' the insert field step, so instead of copying the object field you can go straight to the formula field on the form and right click to start the nested insert field command.
I also found a way to rotate a paperspace north arrow block based on a viewport rotation. See http://cadtips.cadalyst.com/viewports/rotate-block-match-viewport
