Managing text on adjacent viewports when at different angles

[Anonymous]

I am documenting a pipeline via drawings that comprise many rectangular viewports.  I have overlapped the viewports at each end, however often they are quite different angles to capture the bends in the pipeline.

I was interested in strategies to align text which shows up in both viewports.  I try to minimise overlaps, but cant always. However on many times I need to capture a detail that is in the overlap area.  However using a single piece of text means that in one viewport the text isnt nicely aligned.

I was going to have separate layers for different viewports (eg TEXT_A, TEXT_B), but was concerned I would miss something.

Is there any strategies to manage this issue?

I have only experimented with this.

You can try an Annotation Scale hack:

1. Create 2 annotation scales with different names, that display the same.
2. Apply an annotation scale to each of your view ports.
3. The text you are concerned about will need to be annotative.
   1. In general, text can be set to use both annotation scales.
   2. In the overlap areas, you will see the text twice; once for each of the view ports.
      1. Control the problem text by  setting it to use only one of the annotation scales.

Good Luck!
