I am currently using release 2009 and I'm running into the very same problem. Been trying to find a fix. It sets up correctly....makes it annotative alright....but, you loose everything else about the DB. Couldn't find anything on AUGI's website. Is there something that can be done to keep this from happening? I mean, why even make a DB annotative if it's just going to strip the very functionality that you wanted in it in the first place? Donnie,

That said, if I had to guess, I'd take a look at your block definition, and make sure it is Annotative. Sounds like the text is annotative (and thus reacting to your annotation scale), but your block isn't. Hope that helps! Jared – Remember, blocks are a collection of AutoCAD entities.

I have an existing column bubble block. I went into the block and changed the text to my annotative style. I also clicked the annotative box in the block dialog menu. When I insert this block at various scales, only the text shows up, and not the circle around the text? Any thoughts? Quick question. I have an existing column bubble block.
