- [Instructor] We're now onto another chapter…in our Annotation Scaling in AutoCAD Drawings course,…and what we're going to look at now…are annotative blocks and annotative attributes…within blocks.…So we've got a new drawing open, it's called…04_Annotative Blocks, and basically,…what we're going to do is create some small blocks…that go into our simple drawing.…Now you will recognize the drawing,…it's the same drawing we've used for all the other chapters…and what I try and do is keep a nice, simple drawing…so that we can work with all the methodologies…in each particular course.…
So you can download this drawing from the website…to follow along with the videos, as usual,…and what we're going to do first is we're going to look…at the layer that we're going to work on…to create our blocks.…Now, I don't know if any of you are aware, but normally,…when you create a block in AutoCAD, you normally…put it on layer zero, and then make it into a block.…The reason being is then the block always adopts…the current drafting layer when you bring it…
