Annotative Text within X-ref

Jake_CAD — Fri, 28 Jun 2024 16:23:04 GMT

The annotative text within an X-ref (file A) does not act in an 'annotative' way (ie. When the viewport scale is changed, the text does not retain it's annotative size) within the viewports it's Host (File B). See attached files. It may be worth noting that this annotative text is contained within a block.

Assuming that this error is replicated on others systems, is anyone able to diagnose this issue for me please?

Hi,

next time, set up a working sample, so nobody have to "trying to do what is need", please. thx

I can not see any issue, "Zone Tag" works perfect.

Help me to see your isse.

Set up a sample we don't have to edit

share Screenhsot, screencasts, whatever will help us to see your problem.

you are drawing 2D only,

take a look to your data (Front view)

and why is the view now parallel to your ucs?

a door-opener for mistakes.

Changed to WHAT scale?

Your Attributes (not Text) supports 1:50, 1:100 and 1:150 and they works in xref and hostfile

@cadffm Thank you for your reply.

Annotative Function

The annotative function is now working, so a software restart appears to have resolved it.

Z-Axis Positioning

As for the content's Z-axis positioning, it appears that the elements below are blocks. Is this a possibility when placing blocks? And do you have any suggestion to ensure this does not happen?

UCS

Could you please explain what you mean by 'view parallel to your ucs'? I use the command 'ucs' to change the orientation of the model space (ie. when drawing elevation projections off the side of a plan)

or by copy, move, property palette change - all steps you can change the position, incl copy&paste from one to another file

Knowledge and attention.

UCS

The view is not perpendicular to the ucs plane

PLAN Current to change this.
