Important Survey Processing Notes:
• If additional survey data is mapped to the same design file, it will be necessary to run the
key-in Annotationscale Add command again in order for the new data to honor the
current annotation scale value.
• The display of the text, cell, and line styles can be controlled uniquely for reference
attachments. For example, the Survey Basemap file can be set with the model
annotation scale value necessary for the Surveyor. Designers may reference the file and
set the model annotation scale for a different value as needed for the plans without
altering the survey basemap.
• The Annotationscale Add command will optionally work with a MicroStation selection set.
If no elements are selected when the command is processed, all cells and text in the
active model will be processed.
• Care must be taken to ensure that elements other than the survey information are not
selected when the Annotationscale Add command is applied. For example, the text for
centerline stationing and curve data that is placed by the GEOPAK Design and
Computation Manager is placed for a specific plotting scale (this procedure will not
change). If you apply the Annotationscale Add command to these elements, they will
appear out of scale when the command is applied since they were not originally placed at
a scale of one (1).
In the “Sheet” model, set the Model Properties Annotation Scale for the appropriate sheet scale.
