Hi Peer,

re:
> That particular problem could be fixed by scaling the preset properties on a unit system change, no?

The "Default" preset is global so I don't think that would work.

I can certainly set up an option to have all the model units properties on annotation objects scale with transformations as a start. I'm just not sure if that can be the default behavior.

Hi Michael,

Maybe it's better to attack this from the other direction. I've been keeping the objects that are the subject of the drawing at their true size so I can dimension them. That forces me into scaling all of the annotation properties for each new drawing. You've brought up some good points about problems with scaling annotations.

What about adding a scale factor property on presets and existing linear dimensions instead? The scale factor would be a constant that multiplies the numerical text value of the annotation. That way presets will be reusable across drawings because the scene units will be paper space units. It would add a paper space environment to MoI by just working in a new file.

This will be good for others things too like detail views that are at a different scale from the rest of the drawing and for diameter dimensions from a centerline when only half of a revolved part is drawn.
