Workflow for Annotating Drawings
The following steps represent a typical workflow for annotating a drawing so
that your annotations will scale automatically.
1 Create annotative styles on page 774.
2
In model space, set the annotation scale to the scale at which the
annotations will be plotted or displayed
on page 767.
3
Create annotative objects using annotative styles on page 774.
If one or more annotative objects needs to be displayed at an additional scale,
follow these steps.
1
Add the additional scale to the annotative objects on page 793.
2
Set the annotation scale to the new scale on page 768 (the annotative
objects that support the new scale will be resized based on the annotation
scale).
3 Reposition the annotative objects as needed for the new scale
When you create your layouts, follow these steps.
1
Create a new layout on page 263 or make a layout current on page 271.
2
Create viewports on page 280.
3
Set the annotation scale for each viewport on page 768. (For each viewport,
the annotation scale and viewport scale should be the same).
For more information about setting visibility for annotative objects, see Display
Annotative Objects
on page 791. For more information about adding scales to
annotative objects, see
Add and Modify Scale Representations on page 793.
