System Variable ANNOTATIVEDWG

Determines whether the current drawing will act as an annotative Block when inserted into another drawing.

Setting the variable to 1 makes the entire drawing annotative. Whenever you insert such a drawing as a Block into another drawing, its Block definition is annotative. It is useful to make corporate Block library files annotative. In the Insert Block dialog box, the preview image is marked with an annotative_scaling_icon icon to indicate that the Block is an annotative entity.

If annotative entities are detected in the current drawing, the variable is read-only and the drawing cannot act as an annotative Block in other drawings.
