kenny Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 CAD 2009LT - USA Hello - I created a block in MS 1:1 and made it annotative. I then added about 5 different scales that I would normally use for the block. I copied the block to a few locations on my drawing and when viewing in PS, none of the blocks show at any of the scales except for 1:1 Text does scale correctly. thanks in advance, ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADMASTER1128 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Ken, can you attach the drawing? My guess is that the block you created are to big for the PS. I dont use paper space, i prefer model space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 here is the attached file. Blocks in MS are circled in red. As you can see the text scaled great. thanks test.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feargt Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The problem is caused because of where your insertion point is for your block. Currently the insertion point is at 0,0. I would explode the block, make a new block and select the centre of the cirlce as the insertion point. Then when you add the scales it wll scale the block from this new insertion point and not 0,0. Also the text format used is middle. Use upper right so that the distance from the block to the text remains uniform when scaled hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 I guess the problem was when creating the block. I exploded it and recreated the block attempting to make the center or end the base point. I keep getting a message - too many objects selected for intersect. Don't understand why I cant make a base point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
