Create an annotative text style, and use this style to create annotative text.
Transcript
00:04
While you can certainly make any existing text annotative,
00:08
a better approach is to make the text style annotative.
00:12
Any new text that you create using an annotative textile will be annotative
00:19
pan up a bit to reveal an additional multi line text object.
00:24
When you hover the cursor over that text,
00:27
you do not see the annotative object badge because this text is not annotative.
00:33
And when you change the annotation scale to 1 to 2,
00:37
the non
00:38
annotative text does not change
00:42
rather than changing an individual text object to make it annotative,
00:46
you can change the text style so that all
00:49
text created using that style will by definition be annotative
00:55
to do so on the annotate ribbon in the text panel,
00:59
click the dialogue box launcher to open the textile dialogue
01:04
in the styles list. You see three existing textiles,
01:09
one is already annotative as indicated by the presence
01:13
of an annotative badge adjacent to the style name.
01:17
The other two styles are not annotative, but you can easily make a non
01:22
annotative style into an annotative style.
01:26
In the list, select my style if it is not already selected,
01:32
then
01:33
in the size group box select the annotative check box
01:38
as soon as you do,
01:40
an annotative badge appears adjacent to that style as well.
01:44
Click apply to save your changes
01:47
and then click close to close the textile dialogue
01:52
on the status bar change the annotation scale back to 1 to 1,
01:58
then change it back
01:60
to 1 to 2. Again,
02:03
the text near the bottom of the drawing did not change.
02:06
And when you hover the cursor over that text, you do not see an annotative badge.
02:12
Although you changed its textile so that the style is now annotative.
02:17
Any text created using that style before you made,
02:21
the change does not automatically become annotative
02:26
change. The annotation scale back to 1 to 1
02:30
then select the text
02:33
in the properties palate,
02:35
you can see that although the text uses the my style textile
02:40
which you can see is indeed an annotative style.
02:44
The annotative property is set to know
02:48
just as you can make non annotative text annotative by simply
02:53
changing this property text created using an annotative style can be non
02:59
annotative as well.
03:01
While you could fix this by simply changing
03:04
the annotative property, there is another way
03:08
type
03:10
Anno update
03:13
as soon as you see the command in the autocomplete field press enter
03:19
since the text was already selected,
03:22
it is automatically updated and the command ends.
03:26
Now the text is indeed annotative
03:30
change. The annotation scale back to 1 to 2,
03:34
the other text changes size.
03:36
But the text, you just made annotative has disappeared
03:40
because it does not currently have a representation at that scale
03:45
on the status bar.
03:47
Toggle the annotation visibility tool so that you can see all annotative objects.
03:53
Now you can see the text,
03:55
select it
03:57
right click.
03:58
And in the shortcut menu, choose annotation, object scale add current scale,
04:05
then toggle off the annotation visibility tool
04:10
zoom out a bit
04:12
on the annotate ribbon in the text panel.
04:15
Make sure that my style is the current textile,
04:19
expand the split button and select the single line text tool.
04:23
The program prompts you to specify the starting point of the text.
04:27
Pick a point slightly below the bottommost text.
04:31
Press enter to accept the default text height and text rotation angle
04:36
and then type to create some text.
04:40
When you are finished, press enter twice to end the command.
04:45
Since you created this new text using an annotative textile,
04:49
the text is annotative.
04:51
When you hover the cursor over that text, you see an annotative badge.
04:55
But at present, it only has one scale representation.
04:59
The scale at which it was created
05:03
change the annotation scale to 1 to 1.
05:06
As soon as you do the text you just created disappears
05:11
on the status bar. Toggle on the annotation, visibility tool
05:16
on the annotate ribbon
05:18
in the annotation scaling panel, click add current scale,
05:23
select the new text you just created and then press enter to complete your selection
05:30
toggle off the annotation visibility tool and then
05:33
change the annotation scale to 1 to 2.
05:37
Now that the new text has a representation at both scales,
05:41
it automatically adjusts when you change the annotation scale.
05:46
As you have seen any single line or multi line text can be made annotative.
05:52
A textile can be made annotative and any new text that
05:55
is created using an annotative textile will automatically be annotative text.
