Annotation scales are one of the most powerful and often misunderstood features in DraftSight.
In this live webinar, we’ll break down how annotation scales work and show you how to use them effectively to create clean, consistent drawings at any scale. Whether you’re new to DraftSight or already working with layouts and viewports, this session will help you eliminate common annotation issues and adopt a reliable workflow you can use on every project.
You’ll see real-world examples, live demonstrations, and practical tips you can apply immediately to text, dimensions, leaders, and more.
