ABuckingham Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Basically I'm looking for a way to "scale" a bunch of annotation without changing the size of the objects. What's happened is that the drawing I'm working on had already had annotation supplied which is mostly ballons with properly defined text and circle sizes, but the viewport had to be re-scaled so none of the annotation is in the right place anymore. If I scaled around a central point I could get all the annotation in the right place, but unfortunately they would all be the wrong size. Any advice or am I doing this manually? Quote
MaxwellEdison Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I would probably scale them all around the central point and then scale each annotation by the reciprocal of your previous scale factor, using the endpoint of the leaders as base points. Not pretty, but more monotonous than difficult. Someone, somewhere, may have written a LISP routine for it but you'd probably be done by the time you found it, installed it, and learned how to run it. Quote

This is unfortunately a common issue for this particular client. I have already started working on the drawing I have at the moment but I could use any help for future drawings. Quote
MaxwellEdison Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I was afraid of that. If that is the case you would probably be better of posting in the LISP forum. I'd love to help you but LISPs are very much so not my "thing". Quote
