Autotext and selective SCALE

hi,

we should be able to disable the scale influence of some views in AUTOTEXTS.

Hi Gandarillas,

Please don't start new wishes until you know that there is not a solution to your question. As a new user, there are many things yet to be learned about scales of drawings, vs master, etc.

Please continue the discussion in your original thread:
http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=28972

and come back here if and when you discover that ArchiCAD cannot do what you want. Give it a week to give people time to respond to you there.

Thanks,
Karl

It is not the proper solution!...The proper thing would be exclude the unwanted drawings from being put to the scale autotext.
Or filtering out unwanted scales ie: schedules (1:1) or scaled images loaded as drwaings (ie 1:1,23543)

The point is not to link one drawing scale to the master layout - becuse it is wrong and may be done by adding another master (which must be done anyway - or "polluting" the layout with the master content) and having the scale set to fixed value, but rather to exclude unwanted.

A little check mark option in drawing settings: "Do not put the scale autotext" would be much faster solution and a "cleaner" one!!!!!!

Or when you check that a drawing is not to be included in the numbering sequence then it would also remove these drawings from autotext layout data.

That would work in some instances, but an additional check box would be more versatile.

I agree. I was thinking it might be an easier to implement and would take care of all but a few instances.
