Dynamic Blocks in Various Scales

[harilalmn]

Hi all,
I am using AutoCAD 2010. I have two problems to be solved....

As AutoCAD has the 'Annotative' option, I thought of using it in our office. So, we place all the annotations in model space of the sheet file.

Problem 1:
I have a section symbol which I made as a dynamic block. I have a linear parameter to stretch it to increase the length. I have to show the same section in 1:100 and 1:200.This is where I face problem. Assume; I need the length of the section line to be 10 in 1:100 where as I need it to be..., say, 5 in 1:200 scale.

Problem 2:
I have to show a plan and a enlarged view from the same plan on the same sheet. I create two viewports. I want to place the view title in each viewport. I can place it in the viewport where I have the plan. But, what about the other viewport? I want to place the view title in the other viewport (not in layout space, but in modelspace of the viewport) as my Veiw Title is annotative.

Does anyone know a solutions for these?

Perhaps you can post a sample drawing?

Hi Robert,
Thankyou for your reply....
I have attached two images to make the situation clear.

i think you're trying to work against the tools with regards to view titles. I used to be heavily involved with Sheet Set Manager and all the titles were placed in Paperspace with no problems. With section cuts, the views were created in model space and then placed in paperspace.

I understand the desire to place a section marker only once, but SSM tracks labeling (sheet and view #'s), and for me that over-rode the need to place the markers in model-space.

Chris,
I had not been using that feature of SSM to place the view title and callouts. Now I understand it as a powerful feature. It resolved all my issues....!!!
Thanks a lot...
