There are some changes coming and by the time we meet again next year we can dive into those and discover the most productive workflow needed to make our daily lives easier. If the community keeps up the interest I will propose to present all of the tips and tricks I have learned over the past 6 years of teaching Sheet Sets at AU. In the Block Redefine Block dialog box, click Redefine Block. Under Behavior, click Annotative and click OK. In the Name drop-down list, select the block you want to modify.

This year at Autodesk University 2021 I taught Professional Tips and Techniques using the Sheet Set Manager in AutoCAD. This will reset the location of all the annotative scales to align with the current scale selected. Block’s was more wordy, though the Californian did not disclose the exact.

Select Synchronize Multiple-scale Positions. According to the Englishman’s friend and golf journalist Dan Rapaport, the text read: Congrats Michael Jordan.

From the menu select Annotative Object Scale.

This can be controlled by Synchronizing Multiple-scale options as shown below. Michael Block joins Golf Today to recap his whirlwind PGA Championship experience ahead of his appearance in the Charles Schwab Challenge after receiving a sponsor exemption to play in the event at Colonial Country Club. If you want the text and/or leader to be pointing at the same spot in all places then you must reset the annotative object. Block receives text from Jordan after Oak Hill.

Many times we want to see those different object scales giving us the visual display to help determine if the location is correct at an alternate scale. The default value is set at 1, change the system variable to 0 and your multiple annotative scales will not appear. This variable will control the “faded visibility” or multiple scales showing up when you select the text or object as shown below. The first is the system variable SELECTIONANNODISPLAY. On the properties tab (Ctrl+1) under Block. There are two commands (one system variable) that I find helpful when working with Annotative objects. Set block annotation on/off manually Open block editor by typing BE on the command line and selecting the block. For Civil 3D users all our labels and styles are annotative which means the concept becomes more of a natural workflow. If the annotative property of an annotation object is enabled, the text height or scale of the annotation object adjusts based on the current drawing annotation or layout viewport scale with the result that it will remain at the same size automatically.Īnnotative Objects continue to be key learning component for many AutoCAD users.

An annotative object whether it be text or a block is set to a scale in model space at a particular paper height then when the viewport scale is changed the object changes its scale based off that factor. Annotation text objects in AutoCAD are used in drawings to determine text height or the overall scale of an annotation text object.
