![]() A scenario such as this is where Annotative Scaling for Blocks can truly shine.ĭefining an Annotative Block really isn’t any harder to do than defining a normal block in previous versions of AutoCAD. With that we frequently find ourselves copying our waterline valves multiple times to properly illustrate them at both scales. We typically have to illustrate waterline designs on both normal plan sheets (1″ = 50′), and on at least one overall plan sheet (1″=100′). While a large number of blocks are drawn with real units, others are purely for graphical representation and well scale dependent. See, Annotative Scaling isn’t just for text we can also dynamically scale things like blocks and hatches. Personally I would have been happy just to get Annotative Scaling with text in AutoCAD 2008, but the folks at Autodesk were apparently swinging for the fences as they have hit a home run. I am of course speaking about copying a piece of text numerous times just so we could plot a drawing at different scales. The general concept to make it possible to do in one object what once required we use multiple objects. If you have been keeping up with AutoCAD 2008, you know the idea behind Annotative Scaling as it relates to text. ![]()
