For instance many companies have 1 DWG file for each of their standard blocks. If that's your company, than the ANNOTATIVDWG may help you out. If not, I'd stay away.

Have you found a tutorial which explains annotative objects?? If you have could you post it, I've been searching for awhile now for info on this subject and as of yet haven't found anything which truly explains from start to finish.

Does that mean that those of us that draw some projects in metric units and some projects in imperial units require us to maintain two separate sets of blocks?

I think the ability to set a whole drawing annotative in mostly applicable to simple "block" drawings rather than production sheet drawings but I'm not yet clear if this is accurate. I'm still trying to find a tutorial or article to fill in my understanding on the whole annotative issue; specifically information that covers "best practices" concepts, and details that help me understand how and when to apply various annotative options.

This is great for symbols like property corners\monumentation in LDT 2008. As annotative blocks they scale per viewport! Something we have been looking at for years! Great posting.
