Annotation Settings in AutoCAD 2008
Recently I made some recommendations for setting system variables relating to annotative objects in our standard drawing template (for AutoCAD 2008). Here they are with an explanation as to why.
Set SAVEFIDELITY to 0 (zero)
I mentioned this in a previous post: to address the problem with annotative objects becoming unselectable when you save, set SAVEFIDELITY to 0.
Set ANNOAUTOSCALE to 4
When you change the annotative scale in the drawing, all annotative objects will take on the new scale.
Set ANNOALLVISIBLE to 1
This allows you to see ghost images of all annotative scales associated with objects when they are selected. If this annoys you, set it back to zero.
Thank Jeebus! The ANNOALLVISIBLE variable is great. That ghosting’s been bugging me for over a year. I was always just too lazy to really dig into the issue. Thanks. - mj (Oh yeah, good job on the site, its pretty slick)
Thanks for commenting Matt!
