Section Call out Bubble too big

Hi all,

Can someone help me to resize the section bubble in the drawing sheet?

Can we make call out bubble smaller ?

Regards & Thanks,

Ratana.

  • Hi Ratana,

    Does modifying Bubble Radius from Grid Annotation tab in GridTemplate.dgnlib helps it? Please go through "How to modify Grid Setting for a Project once and let me know if it helps you".

  • Hi Subhamoy Kundu,

    Thanks for your sharing, but my problem is the section bubble call out not the grid bubble radius.

    I don't think this is the similar way I can change the bubble size for section call out.

  • Hi Ratana,

    Drawing Title bubbles are annotation cells, so are affected by the active annotation scale: https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/14450/what-are-annotation-cells

    https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/36368/change-cell-is-annotation-status-to-true

    So as you change the Sheet Model or Drawing Title's Annotation Scale value, the scale of the bubble changes in relation to the elements around it.

  • In the files where the bubble is too big - Open the model dialog - hilight the model you are in and then look at its properties - change the Model scale -

    if the scale is correct (i.e. a plan at 1:8 on the sheet and the items are too big then you have to modify the cells - we had to do this for titles as the text was not readable when used out of the box)

    When working on the original file - before you place it on the sheet do the same as above - do the same with the model scale.  This will give you an idea what your final will look like but does not FIX that scale permanantly for all references onto a sheet

    Then when you place them on a sheet the items will scale depending on how you scale the plan.  So placement may be off if you drew the above plan thinking you were using 1/8" scale and then place a drawing at 1/4" scale on a sheet.  In this case dimensions will appear properly at scale but now are twice as big as the plan you were working in.  Thus the dimensions may be on top of each other or even appear to be in the wrong location.

    For example.  We place two sets of dimensions on our plans.  One to be shown on our 1/16" drawings and one on our 1/8".  It is our best way to work on drawings that look good to the draftsman and then when placed on sheets they look like the should.  Otherwise the dimensions we place in the 1/8" plan would be so large on the 1/16" drawings that they are on top of each other and in some cases cannot even fit.
