Hi Alistair
my bad, I did not not test properly... I am now getting the same results as yourself.
Below is one possible workaround (I have tested it properly this time and it works for me at this end)...
Script file:
Code:
DimScale
50
LTScale
50
_.ModeMacro
Annot 1:$(getvar,DimScale)
[ Blank line ]
Load (and run) the above Script file via a Toolbar button.
You should now receive the same results as I documented earlier...
Initially I see the following in the user-defined area of the AutoCAD Status Line...
Annot 1:50
I then update the DimScale value via whatever means.
The text value shown for ModeMacro updates accordingly eg
Annot 1:10
Annot 1:20
Annot 1:100
etc
Apologies for any confusion brought about by my previous slip-up.
Mike
