Annotation size relative to drawing scale
Annotation size relative to drawing scale
(OP)
Is it possible to set the annotation size relative to the drawing scale? On a larger scale drawing (for instance a scale 1:1 detail) I would like the annotation size to be bigger than on a smaller scale drawing. Is there a scale factor that scales all of the annotation settings uniformly?
I'm using NX 8.5 by the way...

However...do you really want to do this? If you want your drawings to follow normalized standards then you are bound to the size you want to use on your drawings.

The annotation preferences size cannot directly reference to an expression or attribute so it would have to be done through some coding like Journal or NX open.
With Journaling or NX open you can create a tool which can retrieve the scale from a view or you can create an expression which can be read.
Then the tool can set a derived value in your annotation preferences..
The avoid strange lettering sizes like 3.1256 you would need to build in a round of in the code. or at least let it pick from a set range of heights according to ISO.
