Control whether or not all of the annotation scale representations are visible when an annotative object is selected.

Annotative objects allow you to create a single
00:07
annotation object that can represent multiple scales.
00:11
When you select an annotative object that has more than one annotative scale,
00:16
the program may temporarily display all of
00:19
its scale representations in the current viewport.
00:23
For example,
00:25
in the exercise file on the model tab,
00:28
you can see some existing geometry as well as several annotation objects.
00:35
When you switch to layout one,
00:37
you see two viewpoints that show the same geometry and annotations.
00:43
One viewport is set to a scale of 1 to 2 and the other is set to a scale of 1 to 5.
00:49
So you immediately know that these annotative
00:52
objects have been assigned multiple scales,
00:57
double click in the viewport on the left to make it active
01:01
and then select an annotation
01:03
such as the dimension on the left.
01:07
When you do
01:08
it highlights in both viewpoints,
01:11
and you see all of its scale representations
01:17
press escape to deselect the dimension
01:20
and then switch back to the model tab
01:23
again when you select an annotation
01:26
such as the text below the object
01:29
it highlights
01:30
and you can see all of its scale representations
01:35
again, press escape
01:37
to deselect that object.
01:41
If you prefer not to see all of the scale representations,
01:45
when you select an annotative object,
01:47
you can toggle this feature off
01:51
to do so
01:52
with no other command active start typing
01:56
selection
01:58
Anno
01:58
display.
02:02
Thanks to the program's autocomplete feature. As soon as you see the selection and a
02:07
display system variable
02:08
in the autocomplete field, you can press enter to select it.
02:14
The program prompts you to enter a new value for selection Anno display
02:20
type zero. And press enter.
02:23
Now when you select an annotation object,
02:27
that object highlights,
02:29
but it now displays only at the current scale,
02:33
you no longer see all of the other scale representations.
