Scaling Blocks - Block displays previous scales when selected

[seanNKRS3]

Hi all, 

I purchased an icon set for our company which consists of lots of blocks. 

My problem is as follows - When I change the scale of the block all is fine but then when I select it again it displays the new size and the previous size at the same time until I de-select it. It continues to multiply each time I select a diff size.

I have attached a screen capture (hopefully it uploads OK)

Cheers.

1. I am not sure if you know it, if so - ignore that:

    Read about AnnoAutoScale, You don't change the annoscale of your object, you ADD other scales.

    What you do in the video is to change the current annoscale.

    With your current setup, by every change of the current anno scale you add this scale to your objects.

Thanks for the reply. 

I will have a read so I can understand 'Why' it does what it does.

I'm basically just trying to match the icon size so it looks in context with the drawing.

I'm very new so I'm still getting the hang of anno...
