- Annotation Leader alignment.
- Library Block Border.
- Library Block Callouts.
Preparing Block for Saving
Before the block should be saved to the library, ensure the following items have be checked. These items are Keyes Standards to ensure uniformity across all drawings.
- Double check that all components are on the appropriate layer for the item shown. (For example all hatches should be on the layer 'A-Hatch'.)
- Check that the Detail Callout (Item #2) has been changed to that the number is shown as 00 and both the number and title have been bolded. Lastly move the callout so that it will be in the bottom left corner of the block insertion. (Please note the image above does not reflect this as it would cover up part of the discussed text but in the final the callout would be located over top Item #5.)
- Please note that if you have not inserted the most current callout from the library, please insert the detail, overwriting the current so that the insertion point has been updated to perform the callout relocation.
- Ensure that all annotations are using the current keyes standards for annotations. This can be inserted into the drawing from the standards block on the library. Double check the annotative tab does not have any relic annotation items for example, KEY3_4 is an old way of doing dimensions.
- Ensure that all annotative items are on the correct scale appropriate for the detail (as noted in the Detail Callout scale). Remove any additional annotative scales that have been assigned to item in the block.
- Make sure that all leaders have aligned with leaders in the same area along an imaginary vertical line shown as Item #3 in the image above.
