Hi,

Got what should be a simple one where do you define the following as default seems to be a ":" and want to change to "/" for View Scale in a note

Default: 1:1
Want: 1/1

Hi Again,

Found this Variable, but the options are grayed out, so anyone know how to activate these?

Not sure if this is the one but expecting some variable like it.

I found the ones that effect views but want to change it so it matches in the title block and in any manual linked properties:

I believe this option is only for model and will not give you / for scale in drawings.

So your second picture is the right way. Just uncheck per standard and set the delimiter to X/X for the 5 types. But this will work for the views labels placed automatically by SW and not for the manually linked. So time to ring the bell at your VAR's office.

Hi,

Think you may be correct on both, as can't find it anywhere, too bad the original SW forum turned into monstrosity to search. at least we have this forum.

Betting SolidWorks will get right on that VAR for 2040, lol.

Thanks,
Jim
