Hi, I made a custom title block in catia v5 drafting. the problem is when i update sheet scale from properties, the scale does not update automatically in title block. how make the scale box in title block to update automatically when i update drawing scale from sheet properties ?

Your titleblock text that displays scale should be linked with `Scale` parameter with attribute link.

Code:

set sheet = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Sheets.ActiveSheet
for each param in CATIA.ActiveDocument.Parameters.SubList(sheet, True)
    if InStrRev(param.Name, "ViewMakeUp.1\Scale") > 0 then
        set txt = sheet.Views.Item(2).Texts.Add("", 100, 200)
        txt.InsertVariable 0, 0, param
        exit for
    end if
next

In Catia where to put this code? kindly explain procedure in detail.

How did you make a custom titleblock?

If you are trying to do it manually versus code.
edit the text, then RMB outside of the text editor window.
choose Attribute link. Then select the sheet, or view from the tree that you want it to reference.
Scroll down to scale, choose it and apply.
