Does anyone know how to make Plot Stamp show a scale bar in addition to the scale in text? Is this possible? I have a customer that would like an ACAD dwg plot the same as MapGuide does. Thanks.

I wonder if it is really possible - a graphic scale belongs in model space while the plot stamp is more likely in paper space or some facsimile thereof.
 
Thanks. I know it works in MapGuide. So, I guess someone must have thought of a way to do it in ACAD.

You could write a little routine that adds a series of lines when you print if it is really important to you. Doesn't sound too hard.
