Thank you Jeremy! I am old school [ and use a chart like you show in the video ] so I started teaching myself annotative objects [ better late than never ]! There are many videos on YT but yours was exactly what I needed: clear, concise and with excellent explanations. Particularly the old version to annotative version breakdown. Thanks again :)
thank you so much, ive been looking to solve the multiple texts, did not realize it was additional scales attached to it. Your videos have been the most helpful i've found on youtube!
Just started using Architecture 2014 after using Architecture desktop 3.3. for years. Jeremy does a great job and his videos have helped me a great deal. One viedo that I would like to see is a lesson on STB setup, explain a basic architectural drawing STB setup. Thank for your help Jeremy. MB
Thank you for this tutorial, ill make sure to check your other tutorials. Very consistent and profesional. Its a shame that the teacher at my university didn't teach us how to use annotative scaling.
Yes, it is the same idea. If there is text in the block, the size can be adjusted based on the annotation scale assigned when the block is inserted. Your second question is somewhat contradictory: By nature, the scale of different drawings varies. That's the reason we have annotation scale features to begin with - to make the size of the text consistent -- not the scale. If you mean to ask about the standard printed text size, it would be 3/32". 1/16" can be used if smaller is needed.
I watched all 22 videos here that you have set, I made my notes, I feel like I learned a lot, maybe not all the details, but I try to learn gradually, because of this program until yesterday I did not know nothing at all. I have a few questions for you .
The video is clear and in focus when I watch it. Notice that RUclips has a quality option button at the lower right corner of the video. If you are watching it full screen, you may want to change that setting to see it as a higher resolution.
The properties palette should do that for you - that's how i change the scale of many objects simultaneously quite often. If you select multiple copies of similar objects, you should be able to go to the annotation scale in the properties palette. If you select anything else on accident, like a line etc, then use the pulldown filter at the top of the properties palette to choose the type of object you want to edit. Another option would be Quick Select to grab all instances of the same block.
It is on by default at the lower right if you're using a new-enough version of AutoCAD. If the button has been turned off accidentally, you can probably turn it on using the tiny black arrow at the lower right, which opens a pop-up menu to switch icons on/off.
Sounds like you are used to older versions of AutoCAD. That isn't how the interface normally works anymore, but you can always change it. If you are using regular AutoCAD, you can probably pick the "classic" workspace to revert to linear toolbars. The workspace icon looks like a small gear. I usually suggest using shortcut keys and getting used to the ribbon, because it isn't going anywhere. It can also be made to autohide, if you watch my early videos on the interface.
It can be toggled on/off using the fly-out menu hiding behind a small black arrow at the lower right corner. Try turning it on there. It is normally on by default but you have had a glitch or turned off by accident.
Thanks!! This video cleared up issues that I was having. I do have a question regarding blocks. For example, when creating a block, a receptacle with subscript, it has the option to be annotative. Is this the same idea?? Is there a standard regarding at what scale the block and subscript should be in order to be consistent??
Too, because now I watched every video on fundamentals, what do you recommend further, which videos I should watch, I'm a little more difficult to determine the order, I impression that I skip over something important.
Thank you for the tutorial. I have followed what you said, but when after clicked the "annotative" button, the annotation in the layout doesn't change. Do I miss something? I'v got 1:50 and 1:100 frame in the layout.
Alex Joshua One of the option buttons next to the annotative scale button decides whether new scales are assigned to all annotative objects when the scale button is changed. Yours must be turned off. I strongly recommend it be kept off as much as possible. Generally try to plan ahead on the scale. If you do change your mind on the scale, then remove the scales no longer needed from the annotative objects. This can be done via the properties palette, ribbon, or right-click menu.
There isn't one universal answer. I consider 3/32" standard note size, but I agree that some hierarchy can be good. Perhaps 1/8" for schedules, 1/4" for major text in titleblocks, etc. Try a normal size and see how it works, as long as you're consistent and not using more than 3 or 4 sizes in total.
In the intro videos I explain how you can type "units" to change your units, such as to centimeters or millimeters. You could also update which template is used (or use the appropriate desktop icon if you have more than 1) so that the units are always correct when you start. See the Interface video.
I am looking at a construction plan now. Can you tell me the text height you chose for symbols such as column symbol and section symbol, because those are usually bigger than general note text.
.When I start working in the auto cad without your help, is it possible to somehow set the size in centimenters or millimeters, I'd only with inches while learning with your video. You mentioned in a video that I watched that I can set my units of measurement are different.,
+Kweku Danquah Because I teach students in the United States, where ~98% of projects are designed and built using Imperial units. I don't necessarily agree, but I can't change it.

You make it sound so easy. Thank you so much

Watch my video on lineweight control for STB info
Thanks For making these videos im trying to follow along and they are helping me out a lot.
THANKYOU MAN...THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE SO FAR FOUND ON AUTOCAD ON RUclips...
Gurpreet Singh Thank you!
I agree with Gurpreet. Thank you, great video!!!!

Thank you, and I must say that your video's are very clear and understandable. Great Job.
Think you! This was most helpful for me.
Thanks a million for the tutorial. Excellent!!!!!

same here... thank a lot sir for this tutorial.... it really helped me a lot in many things

it was not necessary to change 1/8 to a decimal format, just divide 12" to 1/8" which means 12 x 8 = 96

Thank you so much, is the video is very useful and awesome, but half of it is not focus and is very hard to see it, thank you
How do I turn on the annonation scale? Where do I find?
How do you get your cursor to leave that tracer?
How you called that parts, you have so much videos, you caled to them part 2 and 3.......?? i REMEMBER OF THE UNITS.....
I finished with part 1, part 2.. and part 22...... All fundamentals... :)
Thank you :)
Bita Sa No problem!
where do i find the scale? I lost mine
how can i change the lay out of tools like line n eraser to put them on the sides like they usually are ?! i just downloaded it n know nothing :l
Use "add/delete scales". I show 3 different ways to get to this 6 minutes into this video.
Sorry - probably best to watch Part 2 and 3, customizing and templates
why dont you have a video for the metric users
+Kweku Danquah Because I teach students in the United States, where ~98% of projects are designed and built using Imperial units. I don't necessarily agree, but I can't change it.
cool thanks
how to fit scale of drawng for A1 print
Watch the videos in paperspace and printing.
what about mm, cm, mts ??!!
It sucks but I'm stuck on feet and inches in the USA.
Like go to insert and...
You may send me a message here on RUclips for help.
