Scale Text In a Block

[Ryder76]

Not sure what the issue is, but I'm not having any problem changing the size of the text in the Block Attribute Manager and then SYNC up the blocks. They all change accordingly.

ps - there is no annotative function selected in the block.

that's what I expected.

 

Can you just select all your blocks and apply the new scale to them through the properties palette? That is what i usually do.

I opened up the prop mgr and selected a few blocks, changed the annotative scale to 1:2 and it read no selection. I X out and nothing is changed. I see no other scale in the Prop mgr other than ltscale.

 

OK, different approach. I select several blocks, bring up prop mgr and change scale in x,y,z to 50, which is half of the existing block. Some worked, but some flipped over at the insertion point like a mirror image.

Cannot do ATTSYNC in LT. Unknown command.

oops sorry:oops:

That's OK. I appreciate the input. LT seems to be the root of many problems. I don't run into this particular problem often though with having to scale down multiple blocks. Issue here is there's about a hundred blocks of maybe 6 or 8 different types in the drawing.

Do you have the command 'BLOCKREPLACE' ? If you do you can create a new block sized the way you want with a different name and then BLOCKREPLACE the old one with the new one...

Unknown command. Besides, the attributes are different in all the blocks. They're telecommunications cable drops. The attribute fields are all different cable numbers.

dang it!

 

Do you know someone with FULL ACAD that would be willing to fix this drawing and send it back to you?

The task would be monumental. There's about 35 drawings with about 1500 blocks total. It's a ten story hospital. It might not even be necessary, I'm testing in case the worst happens. The result of a PM not reading the spec. Also keeping my fingers crossed.

But selecting all the blocks of a particular type and changing the xyz scale values in properties works doesnt it?

[Ryder76]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too!

Reread post 22. I just tried two of the same block and set the x,y,z to 50, meaning half. I did scale it down, but it mirrored the two blocks.

It's a curse.
