    Electrical Symbol Subtypes are not following active Drawing Scale

      Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
      Version(s): 08.11.09.829
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Electrical Annotation and Design
      Subarea: N\A

    Problem

    I have a DGN file that contains Electrical symbols with Subtype tags.  I've noticed that when the model's Drawing Scale is changed the Subtype tags do not automatically change their scale factor.  If I manually place tags on those same symbols or place plain text, those items will scale as expected with the Drawing Scale factor.



    Solution

    Defect# 350474 has been filed against this issue.

    Workaround:

    • Select all of the applicable symbol Subtype tags
    • Open the Keyin window and enter "annotation scale" (without the quotes)
    • Data-point to accept
    • The symbol Subtype tags should now honor the active Drawing Scale, though you may need to change the active Font size for these tags by applying the "Drawing Notes" text style and selecting the Annotation option

    If you are consistently using only a single Drawing Scale, you can also use the Select By Attributes tool to selectively choose only the Subtype tags and then use the Change Text Attributes tool to change the Font size as needed
