Positioning Dimensions with Multiple Annotation Scales

Anonymous

I have a dynamic block with dimensions associated with it. The dimensions have multiple annotation scales: 1:2 and 1:4.

 

If I add the Dynamic Block at 1:2 annotation scale and then resize the block, the 1:2 based dimensions move properly as the block stretches:

However after that if I switch the Model Space to 1:4 annotation scale the 1:4 dimension is back in it's original position:

Is it possible to have the text size change with the annotation scale but lock the dimension position so that when the dynamic block scales the dimension, the dimension at both annotation scales changes?

 

E.g. so that when I switch to 1:4 scale the result is more like:

 Thanks!

Whenever asking a question you should always attach the file/block that you are asking about.

 

When you use a stretch action, it changes it for only the current anno scale.  When you use a move action it changes it for all scales.  Did you stretch rather than move the dimension?

Thanks for the response, that is the solution.

 

I was using a STRETCH action on the dimensions to position them with the rest of the block. Switching to a MOVE action solves the problem, it makes the block messier, but gets me the results I need.

 

Thanks a lot, I will attach the files next time.
