AutoCAD Annotation Template

When using the new annotation scale feature in AutoCAD, it is best to set annotation in your basic styles in your template.


Use the Annotate Ribbon as a good starting point to setting up styles for annotation.


Annotative Text Styles will have the annotation symbol beside them.

Check the Annotative box for Text Style to use Annotative Scale.

Select the Fit tab in a Dimension Style to choose Annotative.


Or choose Annotative when you create a new Dimension Style.


Creating a new Multileader Style will also give you an Annotative check box.



As will the Leader Structure tab of a Multileader Style.
