WHY USING ANNOTATIONS SCALING? We often need to draw several drawings in a sheet. They often have different scales. In this situation, it can be difficult to draw the annotations. What is the text height should be in 1:10 scale? What is the hatch scale, so it is not too dense in 1:100 scale? Moreover, what is the scale in 1:5 detailed drawing? There are workarounds AutoCAD users do over the years. The methods work, but there are some downsides. If you have the problem and are looking another way to do this, keep reading. What are Annotations? Annotations are the elements that are not a part of model or geometry. We add annotations in the drawing for clarity. We add text to give an object description. We add dimensions to allow engineers to know the sizes quickly. We add hatches or patterns to describe materials or other properties. We draw tags to add legends or description The Problem with Drawing Annotations We draw objects in real measurements, 1:1 sca
