Topic: is there a programmatic way to turn off annotative text?

[andrew_nao]

i have some old dwgs that have some text as annotative and some arent.
does anyone have any code that turn off the annotative text?

or maybe guide me on where to look on how to code it myself?

thanks for any help

Set ANNOAUTOSCALE to -1.

thanks
mine was set to -4

[andrew_nao]

that didnt work, text is still annotative

I think it's set in the TEXTSTYLE.

You can change each Mtext and DbText Annotative properties.

Its a property on each of those objects and is initially set by the current style.

annotative check box is grayed out in my dimstyle dialog

ive been using the properties dialog to change them but im getting tired of doing it... i just want to press a button and have it all change at once.

i guess im just stuck on changing them manually

i appreciate everyones input
