How Do I Stop Annotation Scales from being added?

[ec_drafting]

Is there some other setting to stop annotation scales from being added when I change scales.  It somehow seams to be tied to my viewports. I have the "Add scales to annotative objects when annotation scale changes" button off but I still get them added.  Is there some other system variable that controls this?

Thanks for any help,

Mike

Disabling ANNOAUTOSCALE with the Statusbar button you mentioned should be the only thing required to prevent new scales from being added automatically when you change the Annotation scale.  Is it possible the scales already existed for those objects?

What version are you using?  I have not had this problem on 2013 or 2014.  Have not tried it on 2015.

ANNOAUTOSCALE is a variable, just set it to 0 (zero)

This variable existed in 2013 and 2014 versions (and versions prior)

I figured it out.  Annoautoscale was set to 4 when it should be 0. Which brings up another issue.  Has anyone else noticed system variables changing automatically in AutoCAD 2015?  I have.

Maybe you have a routine running that sets or resets variables.

One thing you can count on, Autocad does not reset variables automatically.

Variables never change on their own: but certain actions you do and some things you do or click on or run and addons plus custom routines can and often do.
