Annotative Scale/Dimension Question
« on: March 26, 2008, 02:02:46 PM »
Ok, I am starting to try to use Annotative Dimensions.
I am getting an understanding of them and some results....

however, I do have a problem or maybe I am using it in the wrong application.

I have a view at 20 scale and another at 10 scale of two different details.
In paper space the annotation looks good.  I have one dimstyle annotative to 20 and 10.
In model space though is where the problem is.  I have to select which scale I want to view at so only one detail at a time shows it's scale properly.
Is there a way where both details show it's own scale properly at the same time while using annotative dims?

Nope.  That would defeat the purpose.  Your screen would get very cluttered very fast if you were to view all of the notes with all of their annotative scales visible.

OK, THANKS....
I GUESS I AM TRYING TO USE IT IN THE WRONG APPLICATION.  I SEE THE USEFULNESS IF IT IS A VIEW THAT IS USED IN DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS BUT THIS DETAIL IS JUST SEEN IN ONE SPOT.
SO I WOULD ACTUALLY NEED TWO DIM STYLES ONE FOR ANNOTATIVE AND FOR NOT. 
THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION!

Look at the variables ANNOALLVISIBLE and SELECTIONANNODISPLAY.
