Annotative scaling... one of my favorite features in AutoCAD. A little difficult to understand at first, indispensible once learned. Let's see what we can do here. We'll start with a couple of questions first. 1. Have you already set up an annotative text style, a multileader style, and a dim style you want to use? That's key. If you have you're off to a good start. 2. Explain a little bit more what you mean by, "messed up". Tell me what you're seeing versus what you expect to see. 3. Where is the "mess up" happening? Are things in Model space not looking the way you want, or is it in Layout (paper) space? Both? 4. Finally, in Model space, tell me your current settings of the following two system variables: ANNOALLVISIBLE = ? ANNOAUTOSCALE = ? From there we'll work on what you might need to do. In the meantime... don't panic.  Dave ------------- Dave Hein, P.E. Hawaii District Engineer Kona International Airport AutoCAD Certified Professional Autodesk Expert Elite |

Okay... so far so good, altho' I would suggest you change ANNOAUTOSCALE=-4 (that's minus 4). Now look at your drawing. Tell me what you see. Dave. ------------- Dave Hein, P.E. Hawaii District Engineer Kona International Airport AutoCAD Certified Professional Autodesk Expert Elite |

I'd make one other suggestion too... and this is for anyone coming here with an "urgent" question: Go to the Member Control Panel and edit you Forum Preferences to Notify you of Replies to any messages you have posted in. This will greatly help you find out when help has arrived and guide you back where you need to be. Dave ------------- Dave Hein, P.E.

| Lying there by mistake two viewports on top of each other in paper space, so you only get changed one? |

Your question has nothing to do with the current topic. Rather than reply to it I would suggest you post it again as an entirely new thread. To ask a new question in an existing thread is called "hijacking'... and in just about any forum, including this one, it is frowned upon. Dave. ------------- Dave Hein, P.E.

CTRL+R cycles through viewports if that's what you are asking about. It's difficult to really know what you want to do as your question is not clear. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

Using Selection Cycling (Ctrl-W) is an option too. Dave. ------------- Dave Hein, P.E. Hawaii District Engineer Kona International Airport AutoCAD Certified Professional Autodesk Expert Elite |
