Multiple insertion points on an annotative block

tjo9185 — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 15:51:05 GMT

Hello I finally figured out how to make my blocks properly annotative so that no matter what scale drawing I bring them into they are at the appropriate size.

before I made them annotative they had a point move action parameter on them, if I went to insert a square block I could hit CTRL and make the insertion point on any side of the square so I could put on any object depending on orientation.

after making them annotative however the point moves don’t seem to work. When I hit CTRL it looks like the insertion point moves like a teeny tiny bit but it does t go to the side of the square. It seems like the point move parameters can’t be annotative or something. Does anyone have a solution for this

Because you say that the insertion point moves "a teeny tiny bit," it sounds to me like they are working at the "original" annotative scale (ie 1:1), rather than rescaling to your insertion anno scale.

As an experiment, try creating a new test block: make it a similar overall size (but with simplified linework), annotative as early as you. Then add a couple of test point move actions at a suitable annotative scale. See if that works better for you.
