When you create objects in a drawing, you typically work at full size.
00:09
But when you create annotation objects,
00:12
you need to consider the scale at which the drawing will eventually be printed.
00:17
When working in model space,
00:19
you can select an annotation scale at which annotative objects will be displayed.
00:24
That way. When you later print from model space,
00:27
annotative objects will be printed at the proper size.
00:32
When working in a layout,
00:34
you can set the scale of each individual viewport so that annotative
00:38
objects in those view ports will always appear at the proper size.
00:43
Later, when you print the paper space layout at a scale of 1 to 1,
00:47
the annotative objects in each viewport will be the proper size.
00:53
The program comes with a large number of predefined scales
00:57
that are used throughout the program for both annotation,
00:60
scaling.
01:00
And when printing a drawing,
01:03
this list can be easily modified
01:06
to include only the scales you need
01:09
and you can control how those scales are displayed.
01:13
For example, on the status bar, expand the annotation scale list.
01:20
Here you can see all of the available scales.
01:24
The list is organized so that you first see metric scales in
01:28
which one paper space unit equals a specific number of drawing units.
01:33
Then those metric scales in which a specified number
01:37
of paper space units equal one drawing unit.
01:40
And finally imperial or architectural scales in which
01:45
a specified fractional number of paper space units
01:48
equals 12 drawing units or 1 ft.
01:53
When you scroll to the bottom of the list and select percentages,
01:57
each of the available scales includes its percentage as well.
02:03
Expand the annotation scale list again
02:06
and toggle off the display of percentages.
02:11
If the list includes scales that you never use,
02:15
you can easily remove them from the list.
02:18
For example, suppose you never use any of the scales such as 2 to 1
02:24
in which a specified number of paper space units equals one drawing unit
02:30
on the status bar. Expand the annotation scale list,
02:35
scroll to the bottom
02:37
and select custom.
02:41
The program displays the edit drawing scale dialogue
02:46
in the scale list, select 2 to 1,
02:49
press control and select 4 to 1 and 8 to 1.
02:54
And then click delete
02:57
those scales are immediately removed from the list.
03:01
Click OK to close the dialogue,
03:05
you can also access this dialogue from the ribbon
03:09
on the annotate ribbon
03:11
in the annotation scaling panel, click the scale list tool.
03:17
You again see the edit drawing scales dialogue
03:21
in the scale list, select 10 to 1
03:25
press control,
03:26
select 100 to 1
03:29
and then click delete
03:31
those scales are also removed from the list.
03:35
Click OK to close the dialogue
03:39
on the status bar. When you expand the annotation scale list,
03:44
the scales you deleted no longer appear in the list.
