Annotation Scales in JTS IntelliCAD
ANNOTATION SCALES
Defines the scales that are available to assign to annotative entities. For example, to assign an annotation scale to a text entity, you choose it from the scales list
Annotation scaling allows you to control individual entities so their size will consistently display when a drawing is displayed or printed at different scales. You don’t have to use annotation scaling, but it is a convenient way to control the scaling of the following entities: text, tolerances, dimensions, leaders, multileaders, attributes, hatches, and blocks.
These individual entities can be annotative, and so can text styles, dimension styles, and multileader styles; text, dimensions, or multileaders assigned an annotative style will have annotation scaling turned on by default.
Defines the scales that are available to assign to annotative entities. For example, to assign an annotation scale to a text entity, you choose it from the scales list. The list of scales will display when you do any of the following:
Set the current annotation scale — On the status bar, right-click Annotations Scales List.
Assign an annotation scale to an entity — Select an entity and use the Properties or Entity Scale command.
Print — Choose the Print command.
