Update Annotation Reference Scale (Cartography)

ArcGIS Pro 3.2 | | Help archive

Summary

Updates the reference scale of an existing annotation or dimension feature class.

Usage

  • Before a feature class can have its reference scale updated, it must be upgraded to the current release using the Upgrade Dataset tool.

  • Caution:

    This tool modifies the input data. See Tools that modify or update the input data for more information and strategies to avoid undesired data changes.

  • Versioned feature classes cannot have their reference scale updated.

  • Changing the reference scale of a feature class is an intensive operation that requires an update of every feature's bounding box geometry.

  • An ArcGIS Desktop Standard or ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license is required to update the reference scale of a feature-linked annotation feature class.
