drawing view scale property

    This was discussed back in 2003, and Mike Wilson provided a work around
    (copied below, thanks, Mike) but has SW added access to the view scale
    property since then? The work around gets the job done, but is a bit of
    a pita, and with different people working on models, and drawings and
    not knowing what's driving the views it gets a little awkward.

    Appreciate any help if anything new is available.

    thanks, Diego

    If you 'really' want to you can...

    *) Sketch a rectangle around a view
    *) Insert-> Drawing View-> Detail
    *) Hide original view (don't hide dependant view)
    *) Align the detail view to other views if you want


    That's it! Now when you change the scale of that view
    (other than 1:1) you will see the note update. You can
    erase the words: "Detail A" so you just have the scale.
