problem with quotas and annotative texts in the layout

Hi, guys. I write to you because sincerely now I don't know where to bang my head.. I tried to watch tutorials, videos, sites... nothing. I'm not leaving.

the thing is quite simple:

autocad 2015
User preferences scales, cm (source content units and target drawing units)
model space with design in meters (1 = 100 cm)

I have created multiple annotative text styles (one for the windows quotas, one for the windowed sup., one for the internal texts to the rooms..), putting in the options of the text styles as a annotative height in the paper space 0.3 (I want to be 3 mm) for some, 0.2 for others (I want to be 2 mm).

I created a annotative quote style, setting the text with one of the text styles created previously, with the consequence that the text height is automatically set to one of the preset heights in the quota styles.

It's okay.

I arrange all the texts in the styles set. . I will arrange all quotas in the annotative quota.

in the properties of the texts and quotas, enabled the annotative option, and insert the following scales - 1:100 (set with the properties 10 units paper = 1 drawing units) , 1:200 (set with 5 = 1) and the scale 1:1 .

I go to the paper space, I make 2 boxes, one for having the drawing at 200 and one at 100 .. had.. the odds or you see of different heights.. or you do not see!!! and the texts themselves.

I just can't figure out what's wrong! no one has a correct procedure (or video) to engage a project with 2 different scales?

Thank you very much

the unit of measurement imposed with the ddunits has nothing to do with the unit of measurement of the sheet. only to scale imported or connected content (blocks and xref)

Wrong! the annotative heights are always expressed in card units (mm or inches), not in the measuring unit you decide in ddunits.

there may be multiple explanations; impossible to tell you with certainty what you did wrong without seeing the dwg

in the various online tutorials, they talk about measurements in cm regarding those heights. . I adapted myself to that.

Can I link the dwg (or better, its extract)?

Thank you so much!! !
 
I found the tutorials on youtube and one on google.

the file is as follows:
View attachment problEMA.zipI disabled the annotation quotas (however the styles for the annotation are set), and also for the texts.. because otherwise I couldn't print this morning. I put in a layout (size a4 height, variable length) 3 squares with different scales, one at 200 one at 100 and one at 50. in each one there should be external quotas, with text heights and style equal in print, in that at 200 should not appear the window sup. (the second share of the window). are already switched off for each pane.

where he speaks of the thicknesses, he says that the height of 0.3 put is equivalent to a height of 2.3 cm (3mm in print).

It is true, sin that then in the image immediately above there is written 3 and not 0.3...
 
select any quota and check out the list of associated scales. you had created all odds with the 1:5 annotation scale. I threw away that useless ladder and I entered 1:50, 1:100 and 1:200
 
Good morning, I'll reopen this post as I need to fix some autocad cartilages in view of future projects. derived from the most common 3d software I forgot the foundation of autocad. Anyway, I've got some issues on the staggering scales.
summarize the situation to see if they are on the correct road.
I created my default model with its layers and its ''styles'' of obviously ''annotative' type of quota. (e.g. 2mm, 3mm altitude).
now I draw a rectangle of 150x150 cm (I mean cm for software are units)
I go to quote using e.g. ''quota 2mm''. >> on the list of annotative scales what value should I put? Do I have to put the value of the scale that I will use in the layout model?
or better that square I will put it on the 1:50 scale layout. when I will quote the value '' list annotative scales''' I will impose it on 1:50. Is that correct?
If so when I go to quote on the model by applying the 1:50 scale the value and the text appear enormous. if I used ''quota 2mm'' the text comes out 100 units.
I hope I've been clear. . .
 
other thing.. when I go to create the square from 2000x2000 cm in the space model the odds of 2mm I can not even see them with the annotative scale 1:1
