Automatic scale label?

    Is it possible to set up a text field in a layout that presents the
    current drawing scale and is automatically updated whenever the scale is
    tweaked? If so, how is it done?


    Thanks in advance

    I recent versions, you can use the field tool:

    FIELD -> OBJECT [select object] [select 'custom scale property']
    [select place where you want to put the note]

    In older versions you'd need to write a custom lisp routine or (maybe)
    a diesel expression using rtext. You could try googling some of those
    terms.
