Stopping the scale showing in the title block when?

Hi all,

How can I stop the scale showing up in the tittle block when I import a PDF table onto a floor plan layout? It has the scale of the floor plan which is fine but I don't want the random scale of the PDF?

Thanks

The PDF is placed using the Drawing tool.
So select the placed PDF, and go to the Drawing Settings Dialog.
In the Title panel there are parameters, one of which controls the display of the Drawing Scale.

You can't select a view or drawing and say "I don't want to display the scale of this one in Autotext please" unfortunately, at least not in AC11. I wish you could.

Thats frustrating. So when I import a picture or in this case a pdf of a table showing the Building Envelope Risk Matrix I have to somehow bring it in at an appropriate scale, i cant see an easy way to do that.

Thanks s2art. I'm just a student so still learning!!

Lockers, Assuming you are a member of ArchicadSelect.com (if not you should be,free to students) in "Local Resources" , the first object there is a Risk Matrix object that you can put on elevations to total up your risk for each elevation.
