You can create annotative dimensions for measurements in your drawing through annotative dimension styles.

Annotative dimension styles create dimensions in which all the elements of the dimension, such as text, spacing, and arrows, scale uniformly by the annotation scale.

If you associate a dimension to an annotative object, the associativity of the dimension is lost.

You can also change an existing nonannotative dimension to annotative by changing the dimension’s Annotative property to Yes.

NoteWhen the current dimension style is annotative, the value of DIMSCALE is automatically set to zero, and does not affect the dimension scale.

You can also create annotative tolerances. Geometric tolerances show acceptable deviations of form, profile, orientation, location, and runout of a feature.
