If anyone interested how to output scale value in US Imp standard (1/4”=1’-0” vs. 1:48) in drawings – let me know.
This will work only in the Title Blocks of the drawings.
1. Open your *TB*.tpl file with TplEd.
2. Locate and double click on your SCALE.x value field. "Value Field properties" window will open.
3. Click on "Formula" tab.
4. In new window (Formula Contents) in Formula field replace string GetValue(DRAWING.SCALE1) with this string:
format(vwu(pow(double(mid(GetValue("DRAWING.SCALE1"),2)),-1),"ft"),"Length","inch-frac","1/16")+" = 1'-0''"
5. Make sure you OK'd both windows, save your *TB*.tpl file, close TplEd.
6. Enjoy
