Following is the result of choosing a rotation of 15 degrees:įor more information on AutoCAD please visit our webpage or contact us using the form below.Īlternatively, explore our full range of AutoCAD training courses. You can indicate the angle by clicking on two points or directly typing the numeric value. Instead of choosing the ‘Most Readable’ option, we could have made all texts to be oriented with a certain angle. If you press ENTER again, the texts will be reoriented so they can be read from left to right or from bottom to top: Select all of the text whose orientation you wish to change and press ENTER. Alternatively, you can type TORIENT in the command line: Go to the Express Tools tab of the Ribbon and, within the Text Panel, expand Modify Text and click on Rotate. In order to fix that, we can go through the following steps. Some of the texts are upside down and difficult to read. The command works with text, mtext, attribute definitions and blocks with attributes.Ĭonsider the following example which contains eight texts with different orientations:

Will definetily post it whenever I find the way.Īnnotative Scale applies to other AutoCAD objects such as Blocks, I will deal with that in a different post soon.This command is located in the Express Tools, so you will need the full version of AutoCAD to access it. I am still trying to figure out how can I in AutoCAD Architecture, do the same for Space Tags. Annotative scale symbol If you need to change the position of a block for a particular layout viewport scale. The 1:200 text is aligned in one direction, while the 1:100 text (the smaller one) is aligned according to the enlarged plan orientation. If alternatively, you select the text, and on the properties tab you enter a new rotation, the new orientation will apply only to the current Annotative Scale. If you rotate the Text using the ROTATE command, it will rotate all its Annotative instances. This is very useful, because you might have an overall plan aligned to the World UCS (or North on top, or whatever) and then enlarged plans aligned according to the portion of the building/project you are focusing on. One more thing you can do is set different orientation for each annotative scale. Then, you can simply select those objects you want to add new annotative scales too, right click -> Add Current Scale. Alternatively, set the annotation Scale of the drawing by selecting it on the lower right side of the screen. In general, it is not recommended to have the ANNOAUTOSCALE set to automatically add annotation scales to all the objects, since that would increase the file size quite a lot. There is a system variable, ANNOAUTOSCALE, that controls if new annotation Scales are added automatically or not, it has a lot of values, from -4 to 4, so see here what each value does. There is no 'Viewport' in modelspace, so thats why the objects in MS dont change size when the Annotative scale list is changed. Although similar in many ways, zooming a view and scaling a view are not the same. Change it to YES to turn the Text into an Annotative one. Changing the Annotative scale for a viewport doesnt actually change the zoom factor of the viewport, it changes the VP scale.

If you select the text and go to the properties Tab, there is a property called 'Annotative'. Annotation Scale will help you solve this. The problem is that if you just blow it up, the notes will be twice the size that shows 'properly' when printed. But you might want to use the same drawing to show an enlarged plan of certain portion of the project. The notes you have will be the right size to be printed at 1:200. Imagine a floor plan of a project shown at 1:200 scale with a lot of descriptive notes.

What this property allows us is to show the objects differently according to the Active Annotation Scale. Since AutoCAD 2008, there is a property for several entities called Annotative Scale.

Annotative Scale Texts are an awesome way to speed the annotation process when a drawing needs to be shown in different Scales.
