Question about Annotative

[john7911]

Hi,
I have different annotative dimenssion on my drawing, when I select one all others dimession show up as you can see on the picture (260 three times ).
Is there any solution to select dimenssion or text without showing other scale?
Thank you

Is it ANNOALLVISIBLE=0 ?

One of the reasons why I don't use annotative scaling....system variables.

Is it ANNOALLVISIBLE=0 ?

Yes the variable is 0

Beats me then. Why AutoDesk introduced a feature with so many variables is beyond me. I thought this (annotative scaling) would make life less complicated but it seems to have the opposite affect.

I have lost half of my hair since i started working with Annotative scaling.
I work with AutoCAD MEP 2011 and there are some things that doesn't work perfectly.
Thank you ReMark

I'm sure the answer is quite simple but unfortunately it eludes me at the moment. If I find it before someone else responds I will return and post.

john7911 - try SELECTIONANNODISPLAY, it is easier to find system variables now with autocomplete on, as an example, I typed at the command line *anno* and looked for one in the list that might be promising.
