Peter, When you add a a view with a custom scale, the scale note will appear no matter what. Seems like someone edited the scale note to add the other 2 lines to it. Instead, if you don't want the scale to appear, drag the scale note off the sheet so it won't appear when you print and then add a separate note for the desired 2 lines. You can attach that new note to the view so when you move the view it'll follow (select note, Edit, Group, Attach to View).

Hatim & Peter, You can erase the scale so it does not show, then add in the two lines of text. You can later get it back by using the "Show and Erase" option and chosing to Show NOTES if you need the scale to be shown. Another method is to just change the height of the text for that one line in the note to a very small number (like .01 if in millimeters) and then you will not see it (might see a very small dot). We do not move it off of the drawing, as when we make our viewable images of the drawings (tif or pdf) if it is dragged off the side, the note (for scale) is included in the size of the image created. Then we wind up with a image of the drawing smaller than the paper size. We usually do not find this out until the image has been made, as when we plot our drawings, it takes a window image, not the extents of all objects. I hope this helps. Dennis
