Drawing Scale

Can a view drawing scale be displayed in a inch to feet format instead of decimal or fractional value?

 

For example: 1/4"=1'

 

I have been trying to adjust the DTL file options view_scale_format & view_scale_denominator but it seems that isn't displaying the format I'm looking for.

 

Thanks!

I don't think you can do that. As far as I know the only options for scale display are, decimal, fraction, and ratio.

Decimal = 0.250

Fractional = 1/4

Ratio = 1:4

I have never been able to find a way to use an Architectural scale like 1/4" = 1'. Maybe someone can prove me wrong, but you may be stuck entering it manually, if you want that.
