Annotation scaling
-
Our old friend Roland Feletic emailed me last week. He'd been having some trouble with this previous post when jigging blocks with multiline attributes. Roland had also identified some code in this post on another blog which worked properly for him. I spent some time looking into what was wrong with the original post. It […]

I stumbled across this wishlist request on the forums, the other day, and thought it worth covering in a blog post. It's an interesting little piece of code – nothing very startling, but obviously whenever removing data you have to be a bit careful: in fact I would probably add an "are you sure?" question […]

Let's just blame it on a few holiday cobwebs needing brushing away during the first week back in the saddle. 🙂 The main issue with my previous implementation was that I'd somehow forgotten that Database.Insert() allows you to insert […]

Back in this previous post we looked at some code to add new annotation scales and attach them to textual entities inside AutoCAD. As a comment on that post, someone requested information on how to safely delete annotation scales from a drawing. I (very) speculatively responded, at the time, that it was probably appropriate to […]

In the last post we looked at how to add a new annotative scale to an AutoCAD drawing. In this post we'll look at what's needed to make an object annotative - providing it's of a type that supports annotation scaling, of course. Once again, this post is based on functionality introduced in AutoCAD 2008. […]

Thanks to Nikolay Poleshchuk and Roland Feletic for suggesting this topic, and to Wayne Brill, from DevTech Americas, for providing the code. In this post we're going to look at some functionality that's specific to AutoCAD 2008 - adding a new annotative scale to a drawing. The next post (assuming I can work out how […]
