Many of the dialog boxes used to create these objects contain an Annotative
check box where you can make the object annotative. You can also change
existing objects to be annotative by changing the annotative property in the
Properties Inspector palette.
When you hover the cursor over an annotative object that supports one
annotation scale, the cursor displays a icon. When the object supports
more than one annotation scale, it displays a icon.
Text, dimension, and multileader styles can also be annotative. Annotative
styles create annotative objects.
Visual Fidelity for Annotative Objects
When working with annotative objects, this option allows you to maintain
visual fidelity for these objects when they are viewed in AutoCAD 2007 and
earlier releases. Visual fidelity is controlled by the SAVEFIDELITY system
variable.
If you work primarily in model space, it is recommended that you turn off
visual fidelity (set SAVEFIDELITY to 0). However, if you need to exchange
drawings with other users, and layout fidelity is most important, then visual
fidelity should be turned on (set SAVEFIDELITY to 1).
NOTE The SAVEFIDELITY system variable does not affect saving a drawing to the
AutoCAD 2010 drawing or DXF file formats.
Annotative objects may have multiple scale representations. When visual
fidelity is on, annotative objects are decomposed and scale representations
are saved (in an anonymous block) to separate layers, which are named based
on their original layer and appended with a number. If you explode the block
in AutoCAD 2007 or earlier releases, and then open the drawing in AutoCAD
2008 or later releases, each scale representation becomes a separate annotative
object, each with one annotation scale. It is not recommended that you edit
or create objects on these layers when working with a drawing created in
AutoCAD 2008 and later releases in AutoCAD 2007 and earlier releases.
When this option is not selected, a single model space representation is
displayed on the Model layout. More annotation objects may be displayed on
the Model layout depending on the ANNOALLVISIBLE setting. Also, more
objects may be displayed in paper space viewports at different sizes than in
AutoCAD 2008 and later releases.
