Blam Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm trying to help create and add a block to our standards. A user wanted to make it annotative. Our company hasn't used them much. I think I'm starting to understand them better. It is just a simple HVAC symbol with two attribute definitions. The block I received was a scaled up block for 1/8" - 1'-0". I shrunk it down to normal 1:1 size to match what is would look like on paperspace with 1/8" text. Now to make it annotative. - Do I add scales to it or leave it as is? The users may need need most of the scale that are defined. - How do I save scales on the block for them to use? Quote
ReMark Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 From your AutoCAD Help file. Block Definitions. Typically do not need to be scaled as they are created at 1:1. However, if they contain text or attributes they might need to be scaled. When the block is created, it should be created at the appropriate size so it can be scaled as needed. Quote
Blam Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 I think it is at the appropriate size. The text attributes are at 1/8" and the object looks correct on a normal 1:1 Imperial size titleblock if you inserted it into paperspace. I was just wondering if there is anything else that I need to do to the block to use it a drawing that makes use of Annotative scales? Quote
