 _SCALESHORT_ will print 1:30 or 30:1

 Can the format be changed to 1”=30’

 

Steps to Accomplish

Create a named expression called (for example) "PrintScaleFormatter" with
the following expression:

 PrintDefinition.ScalePU & """=" & PrintDefinition.ScaleMU & "'"

 Reference that expression in a pen table text substitution replacement string using:

 <expr?name=PrintScaleFormatter>
