Scaled vs Fixed

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have created a wall type marker, grouped geometry, nothing fancy. I can control the text size from scale to scale but I don't know how to control the grouped geometry. If I place the grouped geometry in the project map it scales with the plan. When I place the geometery in teh view map, it still happens. Is there a fixed or scalable option for 2D objects anywhere? This is basically what I am needing. How do you control a detail marker or section/elevation?

Did you save it as an object? Or did you just group the lines and text together?

First just grouped then saved as an object.

OK. The grouping becomes irrelevant once you save them as objects.

The scale sensitivity has to be scripted in. The command you're looking for is MUL2.

... combined with the GLOB_SCALE global variable.
