xref and annotative scale

[Hidden_Brain]

i saw a "strange" occuring this week that I believe have not seen in the earlier versions.

i have two drawings, PN is the design drawing with pipe networks, labels and structure tables. SHT is the sheet drawing where PN is referenced into.

I have created the structure table in PN with the annotation scale as 1"=20'. later found out that i really need to VP scales 1"=30' in SHT to be able to fit in the profiles etc and the tables. i do need the plan view of the pipes & structures as a 20 scale for my drainage scale which is at 20 scale.

so then i have the VP set as 30 scale on SHT drawing and have the tables fit (both the VP annotation scale and view port scale). now, if i go back to PN.dwg and save it after changing the annotation scale to 20 scale, it messes up my VP on SHT!

i do not remember that happening to me in the past. is this working as expected?

If what your asking is will a scale of 1=20 in the base drawing and a VP scale of 1=30 scale properly, then no.

The 2 scales should match as C3d tables and annotation scaling don't share the same "annotative" behavior as AutoCad annotation scaling.

A similar scenario:

With alignments we prepare Alignment tab's at a different scale from the overall project scale and will Data Reference the alignments into a separate dwg to get the desired annotation scaling. This dwg contains the align tables and overall alignment layout.
