Change annotation scale in View Manager?

Is it possible to change the Annotation Scale of a View via the View Manager?  Or am I going to have to go through and delete and redefine all my views?

Hi,

 

I guess you have to delete them and recreate a new one with a new annotation scale.

No

Redefine is enough

 

{Option if needed, save your current view/ucs/layer setting<}

1. Set view current
2. Change cannoscale
3. Viewmanager new -use the same view name-
done

I think you can just redefine them... no need to delete; not 100% sure but I would try to redefine first to see if it works.

From my understanding "redefine" is just a posh way of saying overwrite.  This workflow isn't much better than just deleting them and redrawing.

 

It is weeks like this that make me wish I picked a different career.

The difference between erase&new is

1. 2 clicks less for delete

2. Many keystrokes less for the view name

 

 

This week is one of them you know, it's a good time to learn programming (AutoCAD).

Still a pain in the arse though if one has setup a project with many drawings and views.

 

Fortunately I spotted this early but small issues like these irritate me.
