NOTE Revision clouds that have been inserted with revision cloud tools can be
modified in the drawing and saved back as tools on a tool palette. By default, a
revision cloud tool created that way will have the same layer key, layer overrides,
symbol, line width, arc length, attribute text style, and attribute text angle as the
original tool that was used to create the annotation symbol in the drawing. The
symbol location will be the current drawing.
Bar Scale Tools
Bar scale annotations are used for annotating a drawing. These annotations
are now available through tools on the tool palettes and in Content Browser.
Bar scale tool
By default, all bar scale tools are set to be non-annotative, which means that
the annotations you insert with these tools are not controlled by annotative
scaling. You can make them annotative if desired. For more information, see
Annotation Scaling on page 3637.
IMPORTANT If you have legacy drawings with old DesignCenter-based annotation
symbols in them, then the old block definition will continue to be used for new
tool-based blocks if the blocks are identically named. In such a case, either change
the Annotative setting manually by using BEDIT, or rename the old block before
inserting new tool-based annotation symbols into the drawing.
IMPORTANT The bar scale tool has been set to be non-annotative by default
because the numerical values created on insertion are static and will not update
automatically when the annotation scale of the symbol is changed.
You can find a bar scale tool in these locations in a default US install of
AutoCAD Architecture:
â– In the Annotation tool palette
â– In Content Browser in these catalogs:
â– Stock Tool Catalog
â– Sample Palette Catalog (Imperial or Metric), under
\Document\Annotation
