Specifying Annotation Scale
When you use AutoCAD Architecture tools to generate AutoCAD objects such
as leaders and callouts, these objects become annotative objects that respond
to annotation scaling. When you generate Multi-view blocks and AEC
dimensions, these objects are also annotative and respond to annotation
scaling with respect to scale and location based on the current annotation
scale.
The annotation scale is a setting associated with the model tab and paper
space viewports and is also saved with model views. It is controlled by the
CANNOSCALE system variable value which sets the current annotation scale.
Different annotation scales can be assigned to model views and paper space
viewports.
Specify the current annotation scale by selecting one from the Annotation
Scale flyout menu.
Annotation Scales and Viewports
When working in a paper space viewport, the annotation scale of the viewport
controls the scale of the annotative objects created in the viewport. If multiple
scale representations are supported, the annotative objects in the viewport
are drawn and scaled based on the annotation scale without affecting the scale
or display in the model tab or in other paper space viewports.
The viewport and annotation scales are synchronized when the annotation
scaling controls are used. For example, when you change the viewport scale,
the annotation scale updates to match the new viewport scale. However, as
you zoom in or out of a viewport with your mouse wheel or by using the
