Larry; Thank you for your response. I am thinking this might be an issue with my layer sets and not anno sets, but I am not sure. I tried what Wendy demonstrated with a plan that I created with CA out of the box. I hadn't made any changes to layer sets or anno sets. I hadn't understood the power of those. The plan was created with the default layer set and default 1/2" Scale Annotation. A bit of my background; I've have learned several CAD programs and they each handle what I would like to do differently. Based on Wendy's video it looks like CA will do this as well. I just need to understand how to achieve this. Most of my previous CAD experience has been AutoCAD and AutoCAD Architecture (ACA). In the early years of AutoCAD we had to change text size to fit the scale of the drawing on a sheet. In current ACA this is handle automatically and the text size changes depending on the scale of the drawing on a sheet. One can place the identical drawing on a sheet at different scales and the annotative objects change sizes to match the intended printing size. I assume that is what Wendy was demonstrating. Just to figure out how she did that will be my next step.
In your video, and thank you for sending that, what happens if you create text with ½” annotation, send that to a layout at ½” scale and then copy and paste the layout box on the same layout, change the layout box scale to 1/4” and open specifications for the layout box and change the current annotation set under plan view to a ¼” annotation. Are the text heights in both drawing the same? They were in Wendy’s demonstration. Mine was unsuccessful.
I often need the same plan in 1/8”, ¼” and ½” scale in my plan set and sometimes on the same sheet (layout) with same information. Such-as Room Labels, text, callouts, dimensions. I would like to set these up once and have them re-scale depending on the scale of the layout box. Wendy’s example seemed to do this. Any suggestions?.
Thank you, Linder
