| + | ====== Tips for Using the Layout Tutorial in Rhino 6 & 7 ====== | ||
| + | Back to [[https:// | ||
| + | The Layout concept is identical in Rhinoceros 5 & Rhinoceros 6/7. | ||
| + | However, there are a few minor changes in the interface that will help you use the Rhino 5 Layouts tutorial. | ||
| + | |||
| + | These are what you will need to navigate when using Rhino 6/7 and Rhino 5 layout tutorial. | ||
| + | * To location the The Annotation scale setting, click the **Tools** menu, and **Options**. | ||
| + | * In the **Rhino Options** dialog, under **Document Properties**, | ||
| + | * On the **Annotation Style** panel, **Enable annotation space scale** is here in Rhino 6/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Enable model space scale** is optional in Rhino 6/7. To be compatible with Rhino 5, just keep it checked. | ||
| + | * In Rhino 6/7, the Annotation style will control both the text and dimensions that are assigned to it. You can make a new style from a Template with the **New** button. {{: | ||
| + | * Use the radio button to select the current style.{{: | ||
| + | * Like other styles, all new dimensions and annotation text will be assigned to the current annotation style. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Is your annotation text very large when you open or import a model or DWG into Rhino 6/7? ===== | ||
| + | If **Enable layout space scale** is **unchecked** or disabled, the text is displayed in the model units. So let's say the text height is 8 units and the display scale on the detail is 1/24, then the text will be scaled to display 1/4 unit high on the layout. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If **Enable layout space scale** is **checked** or enabled, the text will always be displayed at full height on the Layout.This can be 8, 10, 12 or more units high. This is very large on a layout that may be only 24" | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can also change the text height and arrow size (for example) in Annotation style the annotation style to something that looks better like .125", .25" or 2.5mm or 5mm. | ||
| + | The **SCALE** button will scale all values in your Annotation style by the factor that you enter resizing all annotation elements. For example, if you you enter 1/10 or .1, all the settings in the style, text, gaps, arrow sizes will be scale by 1/10. | ||
