automatic annotation of spaces

Hello,

 Attached a file in which I tested automatic annotation in my sheet. This works well for doors and windows but I have no annotation of my space.

I controlled the settings under 'View Attributes' under the tab 'architecture' and Space is checked. In the properties the annotation cell exists and is correctly set.

 Any ideas?

  • Hi, Luc,

    You had three things working against you. One, objects have to be "cut" before they can be automatically annotated. The space had no ceiling height.  As soon as I made the ceiing height 1200 the annotation appeared.  Well, sort of,  that was the second thing working against you. The particular color table caused the annotation of the space and the door and the window to appear white, the same as the background color - impossible to see.  I created a selection set of the whole drawing and saw some tiny points.  That was the third thing working against you. The annotation scale of the model was Full Size. This caused the annotation to appear very small.  Once I set it to 1:100 and changed the annotation cells to color 101 (green) then they displayed fine. 

    I hope that helps. Please let me know if you still have difficulties.

    Sincerely,
