    Default View titles - Secondary View title

    I would like to add a secondary view title to my title block (i.e. above the main view title, it would display "PLAN VIEW" etc in a slightly smaller size font) but it seems that I am unable to add any new parameters to the existing "Labels" list when I'm in the View Title family editor.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I attached an image to show what I'm thinking of.

    Thanks for your help.

    Try this family. We had to do a similar style.

    Is there any solution for 2 Scales?

    A1 = 1:100
    A3 = 1:200

    I think the suggestion is to show scale for an A1 drawing but indicate what the scale would be if printed at 50% onto A3. This is often used for electronic issues when the recipient doesn't have an A1 plotter or the drawings are kept to a smaller format for use on site for reference.

    I personally don't like doing it because of printing practices in other offices. Often page scaling is used on a PDF which doesn't always equate to 50% if it's shrinking the margins. I say, If people want to scale format they should do it at their own discretion and risk. That being said, I would like to know how it could be achieved without manual input.

    Have you tried using a graphic scale? No matter the printed size you have some idea of
    the scale.

    Just a thought!
