On the status bar, toggle on the annotation visibility tool.
00:10
Now you can see the radial dimension
00:13
but it is the wrong size
00:16
to add the current 1 to 1 scale to that object so
00:20
that it does display at the proper size at this scale.
00:24
On the annotate ribbon
00:26
in the annotation scaling panel, click add current scale.
00:32
The program prompts you to select an annotative object,
00:36
select the radial dimension,
00:38
the prompt repeats so that you can select additional annotative objects.
00:43
When you are finished, selecting objects, press enter
00:47
as soon as you do the dimension changes size.
00:51
Now it appears the same size as all of the other annotative objects
00:56
because it is now set to display at the 1 to 1 scale
01:01
on the status bar. Toggle off the annotation display tool,
01:06
then expand the annotation scale tool and select 1 to 2.
01:14
Suppose you do not want the radial dimension to display at this scale.
01:19
You can easily remove that scale from a selected object
01:23
as long as the object supports at least one annotation scale
01:28
on the annotate ribbon
01:30
in the annotation scaling panel,
01:32
expand the split button and choose delete current scale.
01:37
The program prompts you to select annotative objects.
01:41
Select the radial dimension,
01:44
the prompt repeats so that you can select additional annotative objects.
01:48
When you are finished, selecting objects, press enter
01:53
as soon as you do, the radial dimension disappears
01:56
because you have removed the current annotation scale from that object.
