Annotation scale is used to determine text height or the overall scale of an annotation object.

The approach used to calculate an annotation scale depends on whether the object is placed in model space or on a layout.

If the annotative property. Trying to make our current blocks annotative. I go into block definition, click on the block that i want and then select annotative under behavoir. I then click OK and redifine block. I then get a pop up that says the block references itself and a block cannot contain a block insertion point with. The Annotative property can be added to an existing block definition. This should be done in the drawing containing the block definitions. Select the block, right-click and choose Block Editor. Do not select any objects! Use the Properties Palette (CTRL+1 to display) to enable the Annotative property. Close the Block Editor and Save the changes.
In Model Space
When annotation objects are created in model space, the following must be considered:
- Drawing or plot scale if plotting from model space.
- Viewport scale of a layout viewport if plotting from a paper space layout.
The text height or scale of an annotation object in model space can be set to a fixed text height or be controlled by assigning the object an annotation scale. One tree hill season 3 episodes. Annotation objects assigned a fixed text height or object scale remain proportionate in size to the current plot or viewport scale.
The annotative property was added in the AutoCAD 2008 version and it is by far one of the most useful tools of AutoCAD. Prior to induction of annotation scale of AutoCAD, the task of plotting objects with correct scale for different viewports was a tedious job.
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.
Directly on a Layout
Annotation objects created in paper space on a layout should be created at full size because layouts are commonly plotted at a 1:1 scale. For example, text created with a height of 1/8” in paper space will be output at 1/8” unless a scale other than 1:1 is used to plot the layout.
