Changing annotative text and objects

[ESchomberg]

Hi friends, I drew a survey on 11X17 originally but now have to increase the paper size to 22X34 and change the scale from 1"=100' to 1"= 50' to get more detail. When I did this all of my text was way too small proportionately to my smaller drawing. I finally figured out that I could click on a text.....select similar....right click.....go to annotative object scale.....click delete current scale and all of my text came in proportionate to my smaller drawing but now on a larger drawing at a different scale. It was an exciting thing to learn and I don't even know if I am doing it properly, I'm just teaching myself.

When I went to re-draw my leaders to my text, the arrowheads came in too small. So I figured out how to change the annotation one by one but it is slow and cumbersome. Is there a way to do this more efficiently?

Hi Eric
Glad you picked up something new. FYI: you can keep multiple scales in your text and you will notice ghost when gripped for the other scales not current. This is called visual fidelity and for each scale you can have a different position via grips. On the bottom right of your screen when in PS are a couple of triangular icons that tell acad to display the current scale objects and add new scales automatically

You can choose to not show the ghosts of other scales when selected with the SELECTIONANNODISPLAY system variable and only see the current scale.

I'm not sure why I would but thanks
