Scale information for drawing annotations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- identifying a drawing scale for a graphical view of a drawing from a file that stores the drawing, the drawing scale specifying a ratio of two units;
selecting one or more annotations associated with the view that supports the drawing scale;
retrieving from the file for each of the selected annotations, associated context for the drawing scale, the context specifying one or more of;
the annotation'"'"'s position in the view, the annotation'"'"'s style in the view, or the annotation'"'"'s rotation in the view;
adding a graphical representation of each of the selected annotations to the view according to the drawing scale and each annotation'"'"'s respective context;
and removing any one or more of the annotations from the view that does not support the drawing scale.

Abstract
The present disclosure includes, among other things, systems, methods and program products for identifying a drawing scale for a graphical view of a drawing, the drawing scale specifying a ratio of two units; selecting one or more annotations associated with the view that support the drawing scale, each of the selected annotations associated with context for the drawing scale, the context specifying one or more of: the annotation'"'"'s position in the view, the annotation'"'"'s style in the view, or the annotation'"'"'s rotation in the view; adding a graphical representation of each of the selected annotations to the view according to the drawing scale and each annotation'"'"'s respective context; and removing any one or more of the annotations from the view that does not support the drawing scale.
