AutoCAD - how to copy text with couple of annotations so that the text got same position and angle with the annotation i want

[Peng_WuEgis]

I have attached an example file. the txt in the file has many diffrent scale, each scale has different rotation and position. how can I copy add a new annotation so that the txt has the same rotation and position with like say

'SHEET 03 1:1500?

Hi @Peng_WuEgis 

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, I assume you are looking for something which would turn off alternate annotations which displays when object is annotative object is selected. To turn off the alternate annotation being displayed you can use the command "SELECTIONANNODISPLAY" and set to "0". Hope that helps 🙂

If you really mean the same rotation and position, just COPY it in place [you don't see the "@" off to the right in the clip for the second point of the displacement], and edit the content of one of them, which will apply to all scales of it:

But there they are overlaying each other.  If you don't really mean at the same place, but you want the same Layer, Style, height, justification and rotation, but in a new location, you can COPY it not in-place, or use the MM command in MakeMore.lsp, >here<.

MM has similarities to AutoCAD's ADDSELECTED command, but predates it, and has benefits, one being that MM honors the rotation angle of the selected Mtext, which ADDSELECTED does not.  But it makes just an Mtext object, without all the different-scale copies of your original [the command predates Annotative text, so it doesn't know about that].  But it is in the same Style, and therefore also Annotative, for you to do with what you want.

@Peng_WuEgis Go to the "look" you want to be the standard across all of your CANNOSCALE settings, then use ANNORESET command > select what is on screen.

All should look like this one. you'll have some spacing issues, but that's another topic. see attached, I picked this to be the default for my test

sorry, I think i didnt say it clear.  I dont mean to copy the text, i just want to give the text another annotation scale. after that, the text should have the same position and rotation with one of the annotation scale i want (lets say 'SHEET 03 1:1500)

every time when I apply another scale to these text, it will have the same position and scale with other annotation scale (lets say  'SHEET 04 1:1500)....
