My annotation line does not fit all the text in shop drawings, can I extend it?
When you got much text on the annotation lines the text may not fit on the line. Here are the steps needed to extend/trim the annotation line in shop drawings.
Figure 1: Left: Short annotation line, the text does not fit. Right: Longer annotation line, the text does fit.
You change the length of the annotation line in Project Manager -> Project Properties -> Drawings -> Length of horizontal annotation line.
This length must be changed separately for each element type; Beams, Columns, Walls, Slabs and Hollow Cores.
Figure 2: Project Properties
The Length is multiplied with the scale of the drawing. So If you have a scale of 1:30 and 10 mm the resulting measurement will be 300mm on the drawing.
Next you need to Regenerate the drawing and the changed measurement will apply.
