just came accross something interesting about unifrom and non-uniform scaling issues...just have a peak in the attached dwg for an illustration...
in general i like to set up my call-out blocks to uniform so that if i need to change the scale of a tag all i need to do is select them and change the x value to whatever...however that messes up the attributes and would therefore require an attsync command to restore them...
that's fine for me (as i have a full seat of architecture) but the office i work at is using LT which doesn't have the command...so i end up making those block non-uniform and either typing each x,y,z value or go to each block and scale them up individually...
i sorta understand why the uniform block behaves that way (because each nested text object has it's own insertion point) but i just find it strange that it should behave that way as opose to scaling on the block's master insertion point...
anyway, just and observation as i don't think there's any other remedy for this unless there's something i missed in the attirbute's properties...
