View Full Version : Static image gets scaled when using AMTITLE

My client has a title block with a comany logo insrteted as a static ole object, a small image.
When they use the command AMTITLE (AutoCAD Mechanical) the logo gets scaled an extra 100 times if the scale is 1:100.
I suspect that first Mechanical do the correct scaling of the block, then AutoCAD "core" does an extra scaling based on annotation scale.
Anyone with simmilar experience?

All of our title blocks and borders are created somewhere away from here, so we just pick them from a list and insert them at 0- no problems here... borders fit exactly to the page setup specified.

Well, this title block works OK at my PC, but not at the client's.
I though maybe annotation scale had something to do with it,
from help:
ANNOAUTOSCALE
Type:IntegerSaved in:RegistryInitial value:-4
Updates annotative (http://javascript%3cb%3e%3c/b%3E:hhctrl_d0e133818.Click()) objects to support the annotation scale (http://javascript%3cb%3e%3c/b%3E:hhctrl_d0e133822.Click()) when the annotation scale is changed
When the value is negative, the autoscale functionality is turned off, but the settings are maintained:
1
Adds the newly set annotation scale to annotative objects that support the current scale except for those on layers that are turned off, frozen, locked or that are set to Viewport > Freeze.-1ANNOAUTOSCALE is turned off, but when turned back on is set to 1.2

I guess ANNOAUTOSCALE was introduced after '06? I don't have that command on Mechanical '06.

Yes, I think it was in Acad 2007.
When I get a drawing from this client the border and title block is scaled 100 times (1:100 is the plot scale) and the logo inside is scaled another 100 times so it's out in the wild :-)

Sorry I can't help there :(
I have no idea about what's going on- sounds very odd though... :unsure:
