%scale% macro gives neg #

[joverberg]

Just noticed that in wall details %scale% returns the correct value only it is negative, (1/4") shows (-1/4"). First time I have used this for wall details but checked previous plans and it is the same. What am I missing? It also prints as a negative number.

Thanks

In plan build. Wall framing. Now rt click wall and you should have option of getting a wall detail showing studs and plates in elevation. Now use text macro to show scale of wall detail, send this to layout and you will notice the scale will read NEGATIVE 1/4":1'-0".
