Hi Michel!
Unfortunatly you have discovered a defect that isn't that
easy to get rid of
in ABS 3. The only workaround I could find for now is to
redefine the
annotationblocks themselves to fit your customized UCS..
Unfortunatly you
have to do this for every UCS you work in.
To fix
this I did the following....
1. In the current ucs I inserted the
annotation blocks (for ex:
AECBE_SWITCH_MOTOR_A)in 0,0
2. Then I
switched to World ucs, for reference I also inserted the
Plane
block.
3. Then I moved the Ann blocks (looks like it's rotated)
to a Suitable
Offset (here down right of plan symbol) from the Plane symbol.
Exploded the
block, blocked the annot text with 0,0 as a reference.
4.
Changed back to the custom UCS and inserted the device Unfortunatly the
ones
alredy inserted got screwd a bit so I had to either move their
annotations or
erase the device and reinsert it.
An easier workaround for symbols with
annotations without offsets:
If you dont want the annotations rotated (to
follow WCS) you can redefine
the annotation symbol in the device
style.
In ABS 2004 you do this by selecting one of the devices - right
click and
select symbolstyle - go to the views tab select the annot symbol
under "view
name" (for ex "Text F" in the Fire alarm.... Device Style) and
then uncheck
the keep text horizontal when rotating. OK
IN ABS 2003
you have to: select one of the devices - right click and
selectsymbolstyle -
go to the views tab select the annot symbol under "view
name" and either
remove the view of it or preferrably uncheck all View
directions AND make a
note of which View block its using (in the fire alarm
case:
AECBE_FIRE_LIGHT_A) then you need to add a new view (Add in top right
hand
side) - Enter a view name
- Select Displayrepresentation Plan - Select
viewdirections (Top + Bottom) -
Check Use annotation Scale.
OK
