So, we've got a new drawing open there for you. It's 06_AnnotativeDimensions.dwg, and you can download that from the website to use to follow along with the videos, as usual. Now, you may recognize the drawing, it looks remarkably similar to some of the other drawings we've used in other chapters in this course. That's because I like to maintain a nice simple drawing to demonstrate the methodologies that we're using for annotation scaling. So, let's have a look now, at the layers we would use for our dimensions when we're using annotation scaling. If I hover over one of the existing dimensions, you can see there that it's a rotated dimension, color is ByLayer, and it's using the layer DIMS, but there's no annotation symbol appearing, which means that these dimensions are not annotative. Therefore, if I…
