SCALE1, SCALE2, SCALE3, SCALE4, SCALE5

This is a template attribute. Template attributes can be used in filtering, or to retrieve data from the model to use in drawings and reports. For example, when you create a report, Tekla Structures replaces the attributes added in the report template with the corresponding object property values.

The template attributes SCALE1, SCALE2, SCALE3, SCALE4, and SCALE5 can be used in drawing templates.

SCALE1 shows the biggest view scale in the current drawing, SCALE2 shows the second biggest view scale, and so on. If you have more than 5 different view scales, only the 5 biggest can be displayed in your template. If you have less than 5 different view scales, the rest of the value fields will not have any value.

For example, your main view has the view scale 1:20, your detail views have the view scale 1:5, and your section views have the view scale 1:10. Now SCALE1 = "1:5" (biggest), SCALE2 = "1:10" (second biggest), SCALE3 = "1:20" (third biggest), SCALE4 = "" (empty), and SCALE5 = "" (empty).

Note:

The values in the template are not updated when you modify a view scale in the drawing. Templates are only updated during certain operations, for example, when you reopen the drawing, or run the Arrange views command.
