NOTE Viewport scale locking is also available for nonrectangular viewports. To
lock a nonrectangular viewport, you must perform an extra step in the Properties
palette to select the viewport object rather than the viewport clipping boundary.
Annotative Objects and Scaling
Annotative objects are defined at a paper height instead of a model size and
assigned one or more scales. These objects are scaled based on the current
annotation scale setting and automatically displayed at the correct size in the
layout or when plotted. The annotation scale controls the size of the annotative
objects relative to the model geometry in the drawing.
You can specify the default list of scales available for layout viewports, page
layouts, and plotting in Default Scale List dialog box.
For more information about annotation scaling, see
Scale Annotations on
page 860.
