Annotative blocks
The annotative property of a block is either set when creating the block definition using the BLOCK command, or next, in the Drawing Explorer / Blocks dialog.
Annotative blocks can have an optional property to always match the orientation of a layout, independent from the rotation of the paper space viewport content.

- Launch the EXPBLOCKS command.
The Drawing Explorer / Blocks dialog box appears.
- If necessary, choose Detail View.
Annotative block definitions have the Annotative icon (
) in the Annotative column. - Click in the Annotative field of a block definition to toggle the annotative property on/off.
To set the Match Orientation to Layout property
- Launch the EXPBLOCKS command.
The Drawing Explorer / Blocks dialog box is displayed.
- If necessary, choose Detail View.
- Tick the Match Orientation to Layout checkbox of a block definition to set the property.
