Hi There
-I have about a Hundred Reference Detail drawings (in one DWG file, attached ) to import to model space only in Rhino V8. (Windows11)
-Each Pre-drawn page instance (all in the model file) appears to consist of multiple blocks and I cannot use as is (when Imported) because the text in the Title and Tables lose their relative sizes, they grow and overlap.
-I understand the basic reason for blocks, but have no experience using them except that I’ve attempted to explode one which lost the text and left the block name?
-I’ve tried Block edit but It only seams to affect the insertion location.
-I’ve tried turning Off and On the Model space scaling in Annotations styles to no avail, I think that only affects text relative to Layouts.
-I’ve checked the forum and found Incidents in 2018 that suggested Importing the DWG was the solution as apposed to opening the DWG directly. I’ve tried both with with no apparent difference.
Can someone suggest an efficient means of importing this without having to redo all the text.
I hope someone can help? I’m on the tail end of a design that I need these reference drawing for and now I’m stumped as to how to get these drawings in for those reference needs.
They (autocad file creators) didn’t help us with all the text overrides. It looks like some were scaled to fit rather than modify the styles and other shenanigans..
Here i created a unique Annotation style for each height override, this will allow you to globally modify these to a proper fitting. The SelAnnotationStyle command will help with this.
Thanks Japhy, I see the size variations with the Tahoma fonts. I’m still a bit confused though. The text in the file R-8-Imported-Autocad.3dm looks exactly like the file I sent with My request, So I’m assuming your encouraging me to use what you called “Rhino MCP” unfortunately I’m completely unfamiliar with that. I tried it a s a command but it returns Unknown command? is that a Plug in?
