Switch to layout one.
00:07
The viewport on the left is set to display at a scale of 1 to 2.
00:10
And the viewport on the right is set to display at a scale of 1 to 5.
00:16
The radial dimension does not appear in either of those view reports.
00:20
It was never set to display when the annotation scale was set to 1 to 5.
00:25
And you just removed the 1 to 2 scale from its list of supported annotation scales
00:32
to make that dimension visible again
00:35
on the status bar, toggle on the annotation display tool.
00:40
Now you can see the radial dimension in both view ports
00:44
but at the wrong size,
00:47
while you could use the add current scale tool to add the
00:55
you would need to do this twice
00:57
once for each viewport.
00:59
But there is another tool you can use
01:02
double click inside one of the view ports.
01:05
Then on the annotate ribbon
01:08
in the annotation, scaling panel, click add delete scales.
01:13
The program prompts you to select annotative objects,
01:17
select the radial dimension,
01:20
the prompt repeats
01:22
when you press enter to complete your selection
01:25
the program displays the annotation object scale dialogue.
01:30
The object scale list shows the annotation scales at
01:34
which the selected objects are currently set to display.
01:38
Click, add
01:40
to open an add scales to object dialogue,
01:44
press control, select 1 to 2 and 1 to 5 and then click. OK.
01:52
Those two scales are immediately added to the object scale list
01:57
when you click OK. To close the annotation object scale dialogue,
02:02
the radial dimension now appears at the proper size in both viewpoints.
02:10
You can also select an annotative object and then right
02:13
click to use a shortcut menu to control the annotation scales
02:18
in the viewport. On the left, select the radio dimension.
02:23
Right click
02:24
and then hover the cursor over the annotative object scale
02:30
in the fly out.
02:31
You can choose add current scale to add the current scale to the annotative object,
02:37
delete current scale to remove the current scale from the annotative object
02:42
or add delete scales
02:44
which opens the annotation object scale dialogue
02:48
so that you can add or delete multiple scales from the selected annotative object.
