Subject: Changing the scale of annotative entities

The annotation scale of a drawing determines the size of annotative entities without changing the scale of other, non-annotative entities.

If automatic annotation is turned on, changing the annotation scale changes the scale, or size, of all entities that have annotation scaling turned on. If automatic annotation is turned off, the size is changed only for annotative entities that are assigned the selected annotation scale.

To set the annotation scale

   1   On the status bar, click Annotations Scales List.

   2   Choose the annotation scale.

All enabled annotative entities that have the selected scale assigned to them will display at the new scale.

To assign and set the scale automatically for all annotative entities

   1   On the status bar, turn on automatic annotation by double-clicking Automatic Annotation On/Off.

   2   On the status bar, click Annotations Scales List.

   3   Choose the annotation scale.

All enabled annotative entities (all entities with Annotative set to Yes) will be assigned the selected annotation scale and display at that scale.

Use a system variable.
Automatic annotation can also be set using the ANNOAUTOSCALE system variable.
