Using Civil 3D 2012, is there a way to import/export a list of metric annotation scales for use in another drawing?
TIA,
Sam Cutbirth
acad.dwt, the template I use to create empty drawings with no styles or style based layers, comes with some metric annotation scales but I always have to make more if I have larger maps. It would be nice to be able to export/import them, rather than what I do now, which is have a blank drawing with the extra scales in it and insert it as a block.
Thanks,
Sam
I was frustrated by this issue recently while doing some training for a government client. In my past experience, I could "reset" the scales, and have them revert to the normal Imperial Civil scales. In this case, they insisted on staying in Architectural scales (things like 1/8" = 1' and so forth).
I checked the UNITS settings, and everything else I could think of, but couldn't fix the problem.
Of course, this template started from someone at Colorado State Governement, who had also set ANGBASE=90 and ANGDIR=1, which took over an hour to figure out... So who knows what sort of messes where created there. I hate it when people change this sort of thing... Makes a mess for people down-stream, who are puzzled about why things aren't working "normally"...
