Annotation scaling ensures that annotative
00:06
objects such as dimensions automatically
00:09
adjust to match the scale of the drawing or paper.
00:12
Space Viewport,
00:14
it is quite easy to make dimension objects annotative
00:17
so that arrows dimension text and other dimension components
00:21
automatically adjust to the desired size
00:23
regardless of the annotation scale of the current
00:26
model space view or paper space viewport.
00:30
In the exercise file,
00:32
you can see an object with two linear dimensions.
00:36
The vertical dimension is annotative.
00:38
While the horizontal dimension is non annotative
00:42
at an annotation scale of 1 to 1,
00:44
both dimensions appear the same size
00:48
on the model tab on the status bar,
00:51
expand the annotation scale tool and change the scale to 1 to 2.
00:57
The non annotative dimension does not change.
01:00
While the annotative dimension immediately appears twice as large,
01:05
the annotative dimension changes size so that it will remain the desired size.
01:10
When plotted at a scale of 1 to 2,
01:14
switch to layout one.
01:16
Here you see two paper space view ports.
01:20
The viewport on the left has a scale of 1 to 1.
01:23
While the viewport on the right has a scale of 1 to 2
01:27
in the left viewport both dimensions appear to be the same size.
01:32
But in the right viewport, the non
01:34
annotative horizontal dimension is smaller
01:37
while the annotative vertical dimension remains the
01:40
same size as in the left viewport,
01:45
select the border of the viewport. On the right.
01:48
Then on the status bar, expand the annotation scale tool and choose 1 to 4.
01:56
Since the scale of the viewport has been reduced,
01:59
the non
02:00
annotative dimension gets even smaller
02:03
while the annotative dimension resizes so that it remains the desired size.
02:09
You can type re and press enter to regenerate
02:13
the drawing so that the scale label updates.
