Annotative objects don't scale to Viewport scale factor

PCervantes4F33Y — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 17:09:39 GMT

Hi! I've notice that the annotative objects only scale when I select the "scale of the selected viewport" from the bottom toolbar but if I use zoom with a scale factor the blocks annotative scale don't scale even if the scale of the selected viewport change to the same exact scale.

I've notice that when I use scale factor, this shows up but if I synchronize it just changes back to the previous viewport scale selected.

Is there a way to scale with z + factor that also adjusts the blocks scale to the selected viewport scale or do you have to manually select it each time?

Have you tried regen in the viewport after zooming?

Also, for the sync. Try locking the viewport. This should stop it from reverting back to previous scale.

Regen was the first thing I tried and didn't work 😞

Locking didn't work neither, it was showing 1/16"=1'-0" but the objects where on 3/32"=1'-0" (I'm used to the metric system so not sure if i'm missing something because i'm not used to working with fractions)

I found a solution but it's not very practical... Once inside the VP a change the scale with the CANNOSCALE command and write the correct one but if anyone has a more practical option that doesn't need mouse clicks please let me know. All this crazy process is so I can have a macro on my keyboard and I don't have to repeat the same process thousand time over in every layout of the project.

Thanks 🙂

@pendean Yeah that is the solution,, and it's a good one, but my problem is that what i'm trying to do it's a keyboard macro that doesn't use mouse clicks. But yes, the solution is that one, it just doesn't work for my exact purpose.

Macro? Perhaps you need LISP or .NET or VBA instead... ask for help and include a sample DWG file in one or more of these forums https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-customization/ct-p/AutoCADTopic1
