7 Select Automatically Create Dim Scale Override, if you want to make the dimension scale match your
drawing scale.
The override applies a scale factor to the dimension style properties.
NOTE AEC dimensions added with tools are not affected by the dimension scale override because an AEC
dimension style depends on which display representation is active. For more, see
“ AEC Dimensions ” on page
1844 .
If you clear Automatically Create Dim Scale Override, the software is prevented from automatically applying
an override to the current dimension scale style in the drawing.
8 Enter a value for Annotation Plot Size.
The annotation plot size is always measured in millimeters for metric drawings and in inches for imperial
drawings. Annotation plot size, multiplied by the drawing scale factor, determines the height of plotted
annotation text.

Then… If you want to…
select Save as Default. Settings on the Units and Layering tabs
are also saved as default settings. save the scale settings as default settings for new drawings
that you start from scratch or from templates that do not
contain drawing setup information
clear Save as Default, and then click Apply. save the scale settings only for the current drawing
NOTE You can save one default drawing scale set per unit type with the Save as Default option. Define a set of
imperial drawing scale defaults, and click Save as Default. Next, define a set of metric scale defaults, and click
Save as Default again. When you start a drawing without a template with imperial units, the imperial default
scale will be used. When you start a drawing without a template with metric units, the metric default scale will
be used. When you start a drawing without a template with metric units, the metric default settings will be used.
If you start a new drawing with a template, the settings saved within that template file will be used regardless
of the saved default settings.
10 Click OK.
If you also changed the drawing units, you are prompted to specify whether existing objects in the current
drawing should be scaled for the new units. For more information, see “
Specifying the Drawing Units ” on
