Hi all, I posted this to the dynamic block forum and wanted to post here as well
So I have a question and its a little confusing to explain so bear with me.
I created a bunch of blocks for mechanical, plumbing, and electrical drawings, like valves, drains, and electrical symbols.
My issue is that I made the blocks annotative so when I change my drawing scale using a lisp routine to 1/4"=1'-0" or 1/8"=1'-0" they wold scale to be the correct size. This works great, but.... my question, when I draw a plumbing diagram at 1/4"=1'-0" but want to make a detail view port on the same layout tab that is 1/2"=1'-0" so that I can zoom in to a portion of my drawing, my blocks change size to the new scale because they are annotative. How can I keep my blocks annotative so they are correct size when putting into the drawing, but lock the size once they are put in so that if I alter the view port size the blocks do not re-scale?
We do a lot of different drawings sizes with different scales that need to be accurate on construction drawings so I need a way for the blocks to remain annotative when inserting into the drawing so they can be visible If there is 100' of piping, but not change size if I alter the view port scale when trying to zoom into a section. Is this possible?
