I have been using annotative text in details, and most of our standard details are set up with annotative text (and dimensions, and leaders). On this one project, all of these annotative objects are not appearing when I place them on a sheet. If I edit the detail and make them all not annotative, they appear.
I double checked that I am not crazy and these objects appear when placed on sheets in other projects. But when I created a new project and tried to place details with annotative objects, they don't appear.
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to make sure is on (or off) to enable annotative objects in details to appear? I do have the "show annotation objects- always" turned on, though it seems that it doesn't make a difference when there aren't any viewports involved.

Katherine,
You have found one of the classic reasons to never use annotative scaling. The only reason to use annotative scaling is to be more able to change the scale. This is not a valid requirement for details, so it should just be avoided.
As for what setting, you are probably experiencing the issue of having 2 annotative scales with the same text description, but different numeric scale factors. Fixing is a clumsy process of applying the proper setting across the errant details, or hopefully just in the sheet file.

Please send in the drawing file in a ticket to have a look at.

As with your other forum post, though, it's always a good idea to rule out drawing corruption by testing in a blank drawing. Open a new drawing from the acad.dwt template file, create a layout and test out placing that detail.
Thanks,
Amanda

Jeremiah, you nailed it! For some reason that file had two scales called 1"=1'-0". When I deleted one of them, the annotation objects came back.
Thank you!
Thank you!
