topic Annotative scaling xref issue ... in AutoCAD Forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/annotative-scaling-xref-issue/m-p/5596000#M332801 I could do with a bit of help regarding annotative scaling of some objects within an xref generated by Civil3D, but I've no experience of sorting out issues with annotative objects. The situation is that I have a dwg that's been generated by Civil3D which contains blocks which use annotative scaling (long sections). When I look at the long sections in the XREF dwg file, the blocks appear as I would expect them to do if they were standard blocks generated to be presented at 1:250, both in PS and MS.  See Civil3D.png attachment. However, when I attach the XREF to my working dwg things go astray.   When viewed in MS the sections appear as they do in the xref file, but when I look at the sections in PS viewport, the objects are tiny, approx 1:250th of the scale that they should be.  See Vanilla.png attachment. As I say, my experience of annotative scaling is extremely limited, and nobody else in the office can shed any light on the subject as we all seem to be KISS Acad dinosaurs ... <img id="smileywink" class="emoticon emoticon-smileywink" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.png" alt="Smiley Wink" title="Smiley Wink" /> We've managed to check some basic settings, and so far we've confirmed that the DDUNITS are set to Meters(!) in both dwg's, and that the CANNOSCALE are both set with a scale names of "1:250", also that the paper units and drawing units have identical values in both dwgs, but other than that we're in the dark. So what are we missing, what should I be checking in the C3D xref, and what should I be checking in my dwg? Cheers ... <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" />     Thu, 16 Apr 2015 22:07:34 GMT John_in_NZ 2015-04-16T22:07:34Z
