OKArcurrieThu Feb 28, 2013 8:47 pmI don't seem to be able to add a YES/NO visibility parameter to the Scale Label when creating View Title Types. Please advise if this is expected. If so I will have to create a duplicate View Title Family. Thanks.
loboarchFri Mar 1, 2013 8:12 amYou can add a visibility parameter to the scale label, but if you make it an instance based parameter you will not be able to control it once it gets to the project. You will need to make it a type parameter. Then you cna have 2 types one with the scale on and one with the scale off. You will also still need to create 2 view port types which call the 2 different view title annotation types.
