I'm trying to clean up some older details, and the text and dimensions are just a mess. Is there some way to see what annotation scale has been applied to an element? I know that Properties will show "Is Annotation", but I want to go one step further and see what that annotation scale factor IS.
Thank you.MaryB
Just guessing cause I don't use that "feature", but I believe in v8i it is whatever is shown on the model properties. There is a key-in- annotationscale select element which seems to select elements that use annotation scale. It can also be added as a field.

The annotation scale is not on a per element basis. Elements either have Annotation Scale on or off, so that is per element which is why you see it in the properties/element information. However, the annotation scale is set at the model level as mentioned by Bob. You can see and adjust the annotation scale either in the Model Properties dialog or in the Drawing Scale dialog (Settings > Drawing Scale). You won't find the annotation scale in the element properties because it doesn't exist at that granularity.
Hi
that sounds like a great new concept for annotation scaling. An element may have one or more scaling factors and/placement coordinates and even different origins for different scaling. cool.....
Sadly the concept is not new. The DWG annotation scaling by Autocad is supporting some of that.

It is entirely possible for text to have an annotation scale different than the active annotation scale of the model. If the "Propagate Annotation Scale" box is not checked, text placed before a model annotation scale change will have a different scale than text placed after the change. It CAN indeed be on a per-element basis, hence my questions.

Mary I think you were replying to my comment rather than Frank's.
I stand corrected and you actually answered your own question.
If "Propagate Annotation Scale" box is not checked then in the properties/element information you will see the Annotation Scale directly below "Is Annotation". If you check the propagate box then the Annotation Scale does not show.
