To Copy Participating Annotation Scales from One AEC Object to Another

You can copy annotation scales from annotative multi-view blocks and AEC dimensions as source AEC objects to other AEC objects. A prerequisite is that your drawing must contain an annotative AEC object that participates in at least 2 annotation scales. For example, you can copy annotation scales from one door tag to another.

  1. Add 2 doors to your drawing.
  2. Add a door tag to the first door.

    This is the source object.

  3. Select the door tag, and click Annotate tab Annotation Scaling panel Add/Delete Scales .

    You can also specify a new current annotation scale by selecting one from the Annotation Scale flyout menu.

  4. In the Annotation Object Scale dialog box, click Add.

  5. Select additional scales to add to the source object and click OK.
  6. Verify the new scales added to the source object in the Annotation Object Scale dialog box, and click OK.
  7. Select the door tag, right-click and click Add Selected.
  8. Select the second door.
  9. Add the new door tag to your drawing.
  10. Select the new door tag, and click Annotate tab Annotation Scaling panel Add/Delete Scales .
  11. In the Annotation Object Scale dialog box, verify that the new door tag has the same assigned scales as the source door tag.
