Creating Annotative Blocks

[MatTheDrafter]

How does one make a block that is annotative, that change its scale based on the annotative scale being used? Still new to annotation and would like to make all our block annotative so I don’t have to keep changing out block sizes base on the scale of the drawing.

When you are creating/editing the block, check on the appropriate boxes.

Don't suppose you know if this work for point styles for Civil 3D as well? I want to make point styles for Man holes that are annotative and believe they have to be blocks first.

If you use a block in the Civil 3D point style then Civil 3D makes that "more annotative" than a block can be in AutoCAD.

E.g. a block in AutoCAD has to be assigned to the scales to be shown, Civil 3D makes that from alone.

Look to that image that shows the style-settings, use your block as symbol and set as size option "Use drawing scale" active:
