Annotative Texts

Commands: TEXT, MTEXT and STYLE

Text entities are created using the current text style:

• If the text style is annotative, the text entity gets the annotative property automatically and the current annotation scale is assigned.

• If the text style is not annotative, you need to make the text entity annotative manually.

Annotative texts have two height properties:

• Model text height : the display height on the screen in model space, with respect to the current annotation scale.

• Paper text height : the height on paper if printed on the supported annotation scale.

To make a text entity annotative

1. Select the text entity.
   The properties of the selected text entity display in the Properties Bar.

2. In the Properties Bar, select the Annotative property.

3. Choose Yes from in the options list.
   The current annotation scale is assigned.
   The text is not scaled: the current text height becomes the Model text height.

To remove the annotative property

1. Select the text entity.
   The properties of the selected text entity display in the Properties Bar.

2. In the Properties Bar, select the Annotative property.

3. Choose No from in the options list.
   If the text entity supports multiple annotation scales, the text is scaled back to its initial scale.
