Blocks with attributes

[fujifilm3000]

Hi there:
I'm a littler confused about Block with Attributes + Annotatives. I have an airport floor plan and I have to create an Annotatives block with attributes that represent a data outlet. The scale in paper space has to be 1/100. My question is at what scale the block has to be, and what will be the font size if in paper space font has to measure 3/32 or 1/8?

I would appreciate any help......Thanks

if you are annotating in modelspace, the font height needs to be the reciprocal of the scale times the height.
viewport scale 1/100
Paper space height = 1/8
model space scale = 100/1 * 1/8 = 12.5

Personally I dont fully understand your question. my simple solution would be draw everything in model space at 1:1, and then annotate in paperspace, but as you are using a block, this philosophy will not work in your situation.

the idea is to insert the same block in different scales and the font size still the same in paper space which is 1/8.. so, if tomorrow I need to plot the same dwg in different scale, I dont want to redefine the block again. "Annotative does that for you..." my problem was getting the font size, but what you said, make sence.....
Thanks for your input.

well annotative lets you specify what the paper space size is going to be, that way you can specify 1/8 and it will adjust the model space size for you.
