Inserting PlotScale in Title Box

[gbradley]

In Inventor, Is there a simple way to put a field in the Titlebox with the PlotScale.
In MDT you can insert a Field and then pick the properties.

Well I guess that each view has a different scale associated to that view.
In MDT I would just list the scale of an entire drawing with a field in the Title block.
I found out how to turn the visibility on the view scale.
Click on the little light bulb Icon.

I just made the field a custom input. Its not time consuming to type 1:1 so im happy doing this.

I am accustomed to plotting with AutoCad Mechanical Desktop.
I usually make a "B" sized drawing Full Scale, but occasionally I like to quickly Plot out a letter size print "A" size on the Laser printer.

I select the check box Fit to paper, and then the Plot scale automatically changes to whatever the actual scale is.
I can save different Page Setups, so that I don't have to have a bunch of Layouts.
I name the page setups "BFull", "AScaled", or whatever.
I wonder if this is even possible with Inventor?
Thanks

It is, but it is not free. But it is cheap.

You can get the scale from the viewport...

Yes I know how to do it with Autocad, thanks.
I was trying to figure out how to do the same thing using Inventor.

Sorry, missed that part.

Best Fit sets the sheet scale to the paper size.
Is there a way to print this scale whatever it ends up to be, on the drawing?
