    Set Annotation Scale via keyin

    AskInga logo

    Original Tip Date: Nov. 24, 2005

    Set Annotation Scale via keyin
     
    To set the annotation scale of a model via a keyin, use this one:

    model set annotationscale [value]

    Note: The value is derived from the Scale column found in the
    .../workspace/system/data/scales.def file or you can calculate them manually.

    Metric: For a model scale of 1:50 use a value of 50.
    Imperial: For a model scale of 1/2"=1'-0" use a value of 24
