Options on Annotative blocks Not visible on Multiple selected Blocks

Anonymous — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 09:12:09 GMT

Since I use Autocad 2020 / Architecture 2020, I have the following issue:

When I select just 1 annotative block I Ihave the posibility to select "annotative Object Scale" in the Quick-Menu (Right Mouse-button)

I can't see the "annotative Object Scale" options in the Quick-Menu (Right Mouse-button) when I select multiple annotative blocks.

(See screenshots)

Anyone who knows how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

Nico

Hi @Anonymous

Sorry, that's how it works. The option of "annotative object scale" won't show up when you selected multiple annotative blocks. May I know what you are trying to achieve after selecting multiple objects? There are different command which you can use to add/remove/sync the scale of the multiple annotative blocks selected🙂

Hi @vinodkl,

Thanks for you response.

That's strange, because In Previous releases I was able to do so.

for Example ... Selecting all Blocks from a specific Type (via Filter) and then adding a scale to it.

For Now I select 1 Block and select the annotative-command I would like to use. then I Select all the blocks from that specific type (Via Filter) and then I use "Recent Inputs" ... to accomplish what I want to do ... But that's always in 2 steps, where I could do this in the past with the previous releases in one step.

so sad that the possibility has removed/gone.

Cheers,

Nico

Don't think so...

Anyway. You can use Ribbon to add a scale to multiple annotations. Annotate/Annotation Scaling on the right.

Or... go to CUI and change the Ribbon. See my Default Ribbon tab:

Or go to CUI and fix the Shortcut menu. Then you can have this option for not only multiple block selection but for any annotative objects selected.

Hi @Anonymous

You can select multiple annotative objects and then use the command "AIOBJECTSCALEADD" to add the current scale to the object and to remove the scale you can use the command "AIOBJECTSCALEREMOVE" and command "OBJECTSCALE" to add other scales to multiple annotative blocks🙂
