So when you set ANNOAUTOSCALE to -4, the text already has the scales 1:6 and 1:10 assigned to it. You will need to type OBJECTSCALE, select all your text, delete the scale you don't want (1:10 in this case), set ANNOAUTOSCALE to -4. Then it will work the way you want - however, the annotative text may not appear in a viewport of a different scale. I still recommend using the method I talked about in my previous comment.<br />-Josh</p> Brad,

Once you have your text set at 1:6, select all the text, go to properties, and set "Annotative" to "No". Then when you switch to 1:10, the text will stay the same size. I feel your pain.

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) Thank Jeebus! The ANNOALLVISIBLE variable is great. That ghosting’s been bugging me for over a year.
