Hi Everyone,
Ive have had a search through these forums and cant quite find anything that will help me.
I am working on a CAD Build for a client, i have pretty much everything setup and working perfectly. One of the tools i have done is to have Place Text buttons that will multiply the text size by the scale of the border. The Client for this build does not wish to use Sheet Models as they will not properly import into their Document Management system.
I have done the text tool by using keyins and 2 lines of VBA code. It works perfectly.
But im having alot of problems with Dimensions. I cant seem to scale the Dimension text to suit the Title Block. i.e if my drawing is 1:1000, the text on the dimension is unreadable.
I have setup Text Styles and Dimension Styles in a DGNlib. The Dimension Styles use the Text Styles.
When i use the program to change the height and width of the Text, it doesnt change it for the Dimension.
Has anyone done similar?
Im hoping there is some simple keyin that i can use for this (as i have done with the text) that i may have missed.
Im using MicroStation V8i SELECT Series 1 (8.11.07)
Thanks in Advance,
Rob
Are you using annotation scale for text and dimensions?
No, i was told that Annotation Scale was broken in SS1?
I did try to use it but it didnt seem to do anything
I don't remember that. I have a 08.11.07.171 here that appears to work fine.
1. Place text and dimensions with annotation scale on
2. change Settings>Drawing scale
Now that cells can utilize "Annotation Scale" for their scale as well as "LineStyles", I believe this is the common thread which unifies all graphic scales. It is not complete and nor is it 100% bug free, but it IS the appropriate control mechanism. Is there any reason why you are not using the most current MS version?
