System Variable ANNOAUTOSCALE

Controls whether a new annotation scale is added automatically to annotation entities.

You can define exemptions for entities according to the entities' Layer settings.

Values

Setting a new annotation scale:

0 Does not add the scale to annotation entities.

2 Excludes entities on Layers that are turned off, frozen, or for which the Layers' Viewport property is set to Frozen.
3 Excludes entities on Layers that are locked.
4 Adds the scale to all annotation entities.
