Length of line in Dynamic Block change with different scales

[andres_bonilla]

Hi everyone!

I have an annotative dynamic block, it's an axe, after adding different scales the "axe line" itself extends/scales to different lengths for the different scales...  is there anyway to force the length of the line to maintain a single constant length regardless of scale?

Thank you and have a nice day! 🙂

Thank you for your interest in finding a solution, here is the block.

I think you can't do to annotative block to scale different parts differently.

But I think that block must have basepoint in another place. Now when you change scale then block move from axis or if you use bottom vertical line as axe then axe in drawing is moving.

I'll be draw the axe in drawing as line, remove bottom vertical line from block, and move basepoint of block to bottom of slanted line. Then after you change scale of drawing, axe will stay in place and block basepoint (at the end of ass line) will stay at place and some time change it's scale.

Of course block in that case must be redesigned.

Are you working with custom scales or with defaults ?

Take a look at this image, i assing 3 annotative scales that comes by default with autocad (20-50-100) and it seems to looks ok.

Thanks for your answer,

I'm in fact using two imperial scales, but the axis line does not retain the same length, I must manually modify the length when I pass from a larger scale to a smaller one or vice versa. Please see the attached image.

I really don't know if I should modify any element of the annotative block so that regardless of the scale the length fits it? or any other modification of which I have no knowledge?

Thanks again for your time and help. 🙂

Imperial scale, but when you created and defined the block, are you sure you choosed inches scale??

Maybe the block was defined in meters...

Hi,

When I created the block, I assigned it in the unit of the block 'unitlees' with the purpose that the blocks can be adjusted on both metric and imperial scales.

Thanks! 🙂

@Richard.Vivanco

In the image below the axis of the block that was posted has two end points A and B depending on which annotative scale  1:50 or 1:100 in the drawing is current. Your image show the same issue.

My understanding is what @andres_bonilla  wants is that point A and B (image below) should  be coincident. So when  the same drawing is setup in two sheets say the overall sheet at 1:100  and the part sheet at 1:50 the text comes out correctly but the endpoint should somehow not the scaled up. 

I apologize @andres_bonilla  if  I have misinterpreted you request. I have a very similar situation with room tags and leaders.

@Richard.Vivanco Any ideas. And thank you for your interest.

Thanks a lot @Richard.Vivanco for your support.

I hope someone can help us with this little dilemma...

Have a nice day!

Have a look at the block I created in the link below. See if my workaround will help you in any way.
