If the community keeps up the interest I will propose to present all of the tips and tricks I have learned over the past 6 years of teaching Sheet Sets at AU. If you get a chance check out the video here and download the materials from this session and my previous two sessions on Sheet Sets. Extremely faced paced and a very fun class. This year at Autodesk University 2021 I taught Professional Tips and Techniques using the Sheet Set Manager in AutoCAD.

This will reset the location of all the annotative scales to align with the current scale selected.

Select Synchronize Multiple-scale Positions.From the menu select Annotative Object Scale.This can be controlled by Synchronizing Multiple-scale options as shown below. If you want the text and/or leader to be pointing at the same spot in all places then you must reset the annotative object. Many times we want to see those different object scales giving us the visual display to help determine if the location is correct at an alternate scale. The default value is set at 1, change the system variable to 0 and your multiple annotative scales will not appear. This variable will control the “faded visibility” or multiple scales showing up when you select the text or object as shown below. The first is the system variable SELECTIONANNODISPLAY. There are two commands (one system variable) that I find helpful when working with Annotative objects. For Civil 3D users all our labels and styles are annotative which means the concept becomes more of a natural workflow. If the annotative property of an annotation object is enabled, the text height or scale of the annotation object adjusts based on the current drawing annotation or layout viewport scale with the result that it will remain at the same size automatically.Īnnotative Objects continue to be key learning component for many AutoCAD users. An annotative object whether it be text or a block is set to a scale in model space at a particular paper height then when the viewport scale is changed the object changes its scale based off that factor. Annotation text objects in AutoCAD are used in drawings to determine text height or the overall scale of an annotation text object.
