displaying annotative dimensions in a viewport that not the correct scale?????????

Ive dimensioned my drawing using an annotative dimension style. Now I would like to show my drawing in a viewport that is not set to the annotative scale. how can I have the viewport ignore the fact that the dimensions are annotative and display all the dimensions anyway????????????

are you saying that you want to display the annotation at a different scale that your viewport will be set to? if so, in the properties palette, you have an option to change either annotation scale and/or viewport scale separately.

No, you have it backwards. I dimensioned in model space, now I just want to use a viewport and zoom to fit. Which object am I looking for to change the properties? When I zoom the viewport to the annotated scale, my drawing does not fit. So, I need to use a custom viewport scale, and display the dimensions. Si?

Annotative dimensions will only show for the scales they have set for them. If you need a custom vp scale then grab all the dims and in properties add that custom scale and they will show.

zoom to fit then just manually set your viewport annotative scale.

Check this setting (see atached jpg).

Only took an hour to figure out. Thanks AutoDesk for driving me nuts, again.
