    Question linear paramater in an ANNOTATIVE DYNAMIC BLOCK

    Hi guys,

    Please look at the attachment.

    I made this gridline BLOCK ANNOTATIVE, because I use it in different viewports with different scalings in one drawing. So it has to scale itself.
    The idea makes me happy, but the length of this line is also scaling, because it is inside this ANNOTATIVE BLOCK : )
    I don't wan't this line to be longer or shorter when the scale of a viewport changes.

    How can I fix this? I tried constrains, but didn't figure out how to!

    Thank you in advance!

    Default Re: linear paramater in an ANNOTATIVE DYNAMIC BLOCK

    Perhaps make some objects with the block annotative but not the block itself annotative. Those object would then resize based on scale without affecting the overall size of the block. Those internal annotative objects would be blocks, attributes, text or multileaders. Be sure to add scales for those internal annotative objects.

    Default Re: linear paramater in an ANNOTATIVE DYNAMIC BLOCK

    I ran into such a case once when my company wanted some parts of blocks to be annotative, but not others. My work around for it was to make the block not annotative and use visibility states for the different scales. I see you already have a visibility parameter however, but you could use lookups instead. Not as streamlined as having an annotative block but it works...
