Hi members.

I am learning, and searching informations by Internet, this new function "Annotation Scale" in AutoCAD 2008... I know, it's not the last version.

I use existing block (modified with "Annotation" capability) but I don't have a good result in drawing, "annotation scale" are not correct in "Model Space".

I attached files (DOC and DWG) with more informations and hope to receive your comments.

I am not sure to really understand?

Best regards!

Sorry for my english. :^)

You are a metric user so I am confused as to why you are attempting to use Imperial scales.

Model space will only display one active scale, unless you set AnnoAllVisible=1. However, use that setting only to verify or coordinate all the representations. Turn it off for normal work.

If you need a single object to show at multiple scales, select the annotative object, right-click, and use the Annotative Object Scale..., Add/Remove Scale item to add the desired scale(s).

BTW, please, please, please do not use DefPoints for your own objects. Create and use your own non-plotting layer. Using DefPoints hasn't been neccessary for a decade and causes issues for anyone that XRefs your drawings.
