About Updating Legacy Annotative Objects

When you are working with previous versions of Architectural Desktop, you can update appropriate objects in AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset so that they are annotative. This sections outlines the procedure for updating three types of objects: AutoCAD objects (text, dimensions, and hatching, for example), AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset blocks, and AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset multi-view blocks and AEC dimensions.

If you choose only one occurrence of an object to make annotative, only that instance of the object will be annotative. To apply an annotative property to all of the objects in a particular style, edit that style and assign an annotative property to all instances of that style. You can also enter ANNOUPDATE at the Command prompt to update the selected text objects. Leaders, MText, dimensions, and other objects are assigned an annotative property by this same procedure.
