Annotation

[imiiiat]

I don't know how to annotate text, dimension and leaders. Say I draft in 1-1 in model space. Then I go to layout and need the viewport in scale 1:20, What do I need to do so that even if the viewports are in different scales, the text, dimension and leaders are uniform? Please help.

A very simple answer use Annotation there is a button on text styles to say make annotative. This will mean that a layout will auto size the text to suit.

 

the best would be to look for some tutorials about annotative text.

You do have a choice. You can either place your dimensions and text in model space using annotative scaling or you can place them in your layout instead at real world size. I recommend you try both methods and pick the one that suits you best given the type of drawings you are creating.
