AutoCAD LT :: Annotation Scale Button

Aug 20, 2008

The help says this:

"The drawing status bar displays several tools for scaling annotations." It then shows a diagram with the following buttons: Annotation Scale, Annotation Visibility, and Automatically add scale".

I cannot get the Annotation Scale button to display anywhere.

When I select a viewport I do get the Viewport Scale button but no Annotation Scale button, and it's not listed as an option when I select the Application Status bar menu.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Styles Annotation Scale Versus Viewport Scale?

Jun 26, 2009

am in the process of setting up a standard file for all designers to use our local office. This file will have most of the styles created for profiles, alignments, surfaces, profile views, etc... as mostly specified by the customer and industry standards.

I am having trouble maintaining the correct annotation scale in the viewport in paperspace and when plotting.

The attached word document has 3 figures. Fig 1 shows the correct viewport scale and correct annotation scale. Fig 2 shows how the annotation scale abruptly changes during the plotting process. This abrupt annotation scale change sometimes happens during the regen process or when I switch from layout to model space and back to layout.The annotation scale goes from 1:1 to 1:40 just as in the viewport. This change in annotation scale is not supposed to happen because I want to preserve a certain plotting height for my text versus a viewport scale by using various annotation scales.

I have researched the procedures for annotation scale and have not found any info related to this "abrupt change in annotation scale".

Curiously , this abrupt change in annotation scale does not happen if the text does not belong to any styles within Civil 3D. Stand alone text stays at the correct annotation scale and is not affected in the same way.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Set Plot Scale By Annotation Scale?

Aug 9, 2012

I am working on automating page setups in model space and am looking for a way to set the plot scale equal to the annotation scale for scaled drawings with

(setvar "filedia" 0)

(setq a (getstring (getvar "cannoscale")))

(command "-plot" "YES" "MODEL" "" "" "" "" "" "" !A "" "" "" "" "" "" "_Y" "_N")

Setting the plot scale with !A causes the lisp to fail.  However, when running each prompt through the command line individually, !A works fine.  what is missing?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Synchronize Annotation Scale To Viewport Scale?

Mar 29, 2011

I have a Viewport set to scale 1:100 and the Viewport is locked.The Annotation Scale displayed in the Viewport was 1:50.

When I clicked on the Synchronize Icon beside the Viewport Scale, the Viewport Scale changed, even though the Viewport was locked.

I was expecting the Annotation Scale to synchronize to the Viewport Scale.

Is this how it is supposed to work? and why does a locked Viewport Scale change?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Annotation Scale Is Not Equal To Plot Scale

Mar 15, 2011

I work in autocad 2010 and I draw in scale 1:1 . What an annotation scale is, moreover I have never used annotative objects in my drawings.

Nonetheless, when I try to plot a drawing, while I am in the model view, I choose the scale in mm/units, I select the plot area and when I press preview or plot, I get the message THE ANNOTATION SCALE IS NOT EQUAL TO THE PLOT SCALE. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?

I press yes, I print it and the outcome is always a bit smaller than it should be.

When i am in the layout mode and I try to plot, I dont get this message. But I dont know how scaling works in this case. For example I want to plot in a A4 paper, scale 1:100. So I type 1000mm/100units, as I did in the model mode, but the result is wrong.

AutoCAD .NET :: Annotation Scale

Jun 14, 2013

If I have an annotative object, with multiple annotative scales, but not the current one, AutoCAD will display it picking one of its annotative scales.

How do I find out which annotative scale AutoCAD is using to display an annotative object that has not the current annotation scale?

AutoCAD LT :: How To Use Annotation Scale Objects

Jul 1, 2012

using ACADLT  2008

I wanted  to use annotation scale objects long time ago, but I was scared…why?In the office no one knows what annotative objects  are.

I already start to imagine the "curses"  I'll get when they open my drawings in their computers and see that the dimensionin the drawing are not scaled the way they used to.

I was thinking about telling them a command that will do the magic.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Annotation Scale Dialog Box

Mar 23, 2012

I have 2 computers with Windows 7 OS and 2011 ACA installed with a custom profile set current. When I select annotative text, right click and select ADD/DELETE SCALE, the Annotation Scale dialog

box SHOULD open.... but it does not.  I have this same profile set on other computers with Windows 7 and they are working fine.  We have completely uninstalled ACA, wiped the registry clean, and reinstalled...

it's still doing the same thing.  I can switch to the Out of the Box profile and the dialog box opens as it should. I'm not sure where to look within the profile for the issue since it's working on other computers.

AutoCad 2D :: Annotation Scale To Convert Mm To Inches

Feb 5, 2013

I created a new annotation scale to convert mm to inches and changed my DIMSTYLE to dimension to annotative as well, but when I go to dimension nothing happens. My dimensions, arrows and extension lines are still small.

What's more bizzare is when I click the dimension and right click properties, it says my annotation scale is 1:1 and it's not set to change to annotative even though my DIMSTYLE says to. So I have to manually click the dimensions and change them all to my DIMSTYLE and change the annotation scale.

What did I do wrong when I created the new annotation scale?!?!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Section Sheets Annotation Scale?

Mar 29, 2012

I have created section sheets in C3D 2012. My sections look fine in model space and my template comes in in paper space with my template and the proper viewport (viewport scale is 1:200). My annotation scale in model space is 1:250 and everything looks fine. My problem is, in paper space, the sections themselves looks fine but the annotation is way out to lunch (see attachment). I've tried playing with the scales but can't seem to find a solution.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Annotation Scale Setting Is Being Ignored In Viewport

Sep 24, 2009

I am using version B.219.3 (UNICODE) of Autocad Civil3d 2008 with service pack 2 loaded.

I am putting together some plan and profile sheets for a civil roadway job.

The annotation scale setting of the text in the profile xref and alignment xref is being ignored in the sheet file viewports. This text should be appearing at 1:40 scale, automatically, same as the viewport scale, but they are appearing very small instead. According to the way annotation scale is supposed to work in Autocad2008, this annotation should be appearing at the correct scale, automatically.

If I try to adjust the annotation scale to a ratio I think will work, it automatically adjusts the viewport scale to match whatever I enter for an annotation scale. What to try next.

Can files become corrupted in AutoCAD? If so, are there utilities to repair corrupt AutoCAD files?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Annotation And Standard Scale Of Viewport

Jan 22, 2013

The properties palatte has both these scales listed.  In theory, they can be different.I would love to be able to plot my drawing at 1:1000 with the civil objects & labels scaled to 1:500 so they don't overwhelm the plan.  It would seem I should be able to simply set the viewport to have a standard scale of 1:1000 and annotation scale 1:500 and be done.  But it doesn't work.  It will always scale the annotative objects to the standard scale.

My workaround is to scale my sheet double size and plot it half size, to trick the Civil objects & labels.

AutoCad 2D :: Making ANNOTATION And Viewport Scale The Same By Default

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Annotation Scale To 1:2

Apr 26, 2013

take a look at the test.dwg it contains a block named 'box' (which is a rectangle) and some attributes. the annotation scale is 1:1 and i zoomed in to focus on one attribute.

change the annotation scale to 1:2 and you will see the attribute grows by 2 - that's ok! now load attmod.lsp and run attmod command and you will see the attribute grows again by 2

even the command only (entmod) the attributes without making any change.(to restore it use battman sync)Is there a workaround to this bug?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plot / Annotation And Viewport Scale Correlation

Feb 25, 2013

Plot scale / Annotation scale / Viewport scale

I couldn’t figure out how these three types of scales are correlated with one another. For example, my drawing unit in AutoCAD is meter. And thus if I need to print my drawing with a scale of 1:200 then I set the annotation scale to be 1:2viewport scale to be 1:2plot scale 100:1000
 
if I need to print my drawing with a scale of 1:20 then I set the annotation scale to be 5:1viewport scale to be 5:1plot scale 100:1000 

I couldn’t derive the rule that controls these three types of scales. This is also quite confusing when working with C3D! Sounds not the same logic is applied.

GIMP :: Dot Button Beside Scale That Auto Sets Scale Back To Default?

Jan 5, 2012

When I'm editing pix, and need a quick large solid brush for a couple seconds, (1-inch dia), I slide "scale", but it's nearly impossible to manually rest scale back to default without restarting Gimp...

Can there be a dot-button beside scale that auto-sets scale back to default..? and/or a timer on scale changes that resets scale back to default after ten-seconds..?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Annotation Without Annotative - Scale Text From Tool Palette

Apr 5, 2012

Unfortunately, a new project we have does not allow us to use annotative objects, so we are back to switching scale by creating several dimstyles with a varying dimscale (eg. Dim96, for 1/8", Dim48 for 1/4" etc.)  Now I have created a button on the tool palette that brings in text and it allows me to set the size of the arrow by matching it to the dimstyle, but the text comes in always at the same size - 9" which is 3/32" for a 1/8" plan.  The arrow changes but the text does not.  I know I have to change the CANNOSCALE, but I can't seem to figure out a way of making it work so that the user will only need to switch the dimstyle from the pull down up at the top right and then be able to use a tool palette button that will bring in a text with leader with it's arrow head and text height matching the dimstyle scale.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Changing Annotation Scale Causes Text To Move A Kilometer?

Oct 23, 2010

When I change the annotation scale for selected text and leaders, most of it shoots into space. I have tried one at a time and many, all with the same result.

The text size looks correct, the leader looks fine, but the text x coordinate changes radically.

Changing from 1:1 to 1:15,000

Does this mean I have to relocate every leader text back to something normal, or am I missing something.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Annotative Block Moves When Annotation Scale Changed

Mar 13, 2013

Annotative block moves when annotation scale changed,

The solution for this problem is mentioned in the link below but sounds not to be useful:

[URL]....

I got a block that contains an attribute (attached) and created on layer zero while the current annotation scale is 1:100. As this annotation scale is changed (say to 1:200 or 1:50) this block moves from its original place to another one (as shown in the attached screenshots).

AutoCAD 2010 :: Insulation / Batting Line When Changing Annotation Scale

Dec 6, 2011

I'm more or less happy with annotation scaling, apart from the mysterious hatching problems that are not the issue of this message.

But there is a major annotative scaling issue with batting / insulation lines.  Insulation lines should NOT change with annotative scaling !  A 4" insulation layer shouldn't become 16" just because i'm printing in bigger scale !

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Modifying The Point Size / Text Size Assigned At Particular Annotation Scale

Modifying the point size/text size assigned at particular annotation scale,

I’m wondering how the point size/text size assigned at particular annotation scale can be modified.

For example, in the attached screenshot, the point size assigned at the annotation scale of 1/1000 is big and I wanted to make it a bit smaller at that scale.

Windows 7 (Ultimate 64 bits),
Firefox 20.0,
Kaspersky 2013.
