I am creating a parametric graphic scale modeled loosely off of another one found here: http://www.revitcity.com/downloads.php?action=view&object_id=2882

Using the above as an example, I would like the Title of the graphic scale to read "1in = Xft", where X is the value for the "First" number entered, and updates when that number is changed. So, in the above family, if you load it into a project and enter "20" in the "First" box, the others populate to the appropriate multiples of 20. I would simply like the title to then read "1in = 20ft". Is there a way to reference that value in a formula for the title? Or will I simply have to type it in when I change the scale?

Change the parameter used in the title label, and add a prefix and suffix.

DOH! Prefix / Suffix. It's so obvious. Thanks for pointing it out!
