Just tossing this out there:

Is there a way to link the plot scale that you choose at the time of plot to a label on the drawing so that you can plot at different scales easily - without having to go to each view and changing the scale label in every view before changing the selected scale to plot?
Right now, We just use text and label the drawing at the scale we intent to plot it at. If we want to change format size, we need to change the scale labels on all the titles. Is this the only way to do it?

Thanks a bunch!!!

I use the Splot macro and place the label on the border layer and it prints for every page in the set.

Stamp that changes per plot scale at time of printing? Sounds like a
wishlist item to me. I didn't know SPLOT could do that.

I use the for alt p and it updates all of the fields within the macro.

I just read the original post again, I still have to set the scale before I do this. I don't know if it can be done except through a long group of macros.
