Inserting a Bar Scale in the Drawing
Use this procedure to insert a bar scale into the drawing.
1 Select a bar scale tool on a tool palette.
(A bar scale tool is located on the Annotation palette.)
2 Specify the insertion point of the bar scale.
3 Specify the rotation of the bar scale.
For information about editing the properties of bar scales in the drawing, see
Editing Block-Based Annotation Symbols on page 3631.
NOTE Bar scales that have been inserted with a bar scale tool can be modified in
the drawing and saved back as a tool on a tool palette. By default, a bar scale tool
created that way will have the same layer key, layer overrides, symbol, 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.
Column Grid Bubble Tools
Column grid bubble annotations are used for annotating column grids in a
drawing. These annotations are available through tools on the tool palettes
and in Content Browser. The column grid bubble is a true tool with tool
properties.
Column grid bubble tool
The default column grid bubble tool is set to be annotative, which means that
the annotations you insert with the tool are controlled by annotative scaling.
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.
The column grid bubble tool is based on a multi-view block. To make changes
to the annotative behavior, you must change the referenced block within the
multi-view block with BEDIT.
