Hi,

I am a newbie to Creo and I recently created a small format to test it out the scale properties of a drawing.

here I found 2 scale one is drawing sheet scale(!) and view scale? how to call the view scale function in the title block from a format? For this I used &scale.

As far as I know, you can't display a view scale (custom scale) anywhere except in the note that is auto-generated under the view.

I would suggest setting your sheet scale to be the scale of the major view on the sheet and use a custom view scale for any view that isn't that scale.

The &scale is the sheet scale.  A view's scale can be adjusted in the view properties to have its own scale and that should generate a label under the view to denote that scale.

If you want them to match, remove the custom scale from the view and change the sheet scale to the desired scale.

Thanks. That helps.

But is there any way to display the custom scale? Do I need to change sheet scale every drawing to display the custom scale even though I have a format?
