Of course bear in mind I am a one man show here, as always - do what works best for you. As a matter of fact some of those I am going to redo. I have done a few projects with annotative and just wasn't worth the effort. Much easier than playing with annotative and leaves modelspace much cleaner. I agree, I normally use paperspace for dimensions, text, etc. I just don't find it necessary for the job I do. Is there a good reason to use annotative scaling? Yes, there is and I can see its benefits for certain disciplines. This way, you can modify the size of specific objects while retaining their. By creating a block out of the elements you wish to scale, you can enter the Block Editor and scale the block individually. How many things does one have to deal with using annotative text? How many variables have to be dealt with? I also have the added bonus of not having to deal with scale lists. Using the Block Editor: Another effective approach to scale Autocad drawings without changing dimensions is by utilizing the Block Editor. 1) Make sure associative is enabled and 2) set my text height. Doing it my way I have to worry about two things. As long as dimensions are associative the object size can change ten times and it would not matter. I've been putting all dimensioning and text in my paper space layout going on five years now with nary a problem. However, if the geometry you are dimensioning is in Model space, it is best to draw dimensions in Model space because AutoCAD places the definition points in.
