After installing this maintenance update, choosing a scale from the annotation scales list has no effect whatsoever on the scale. It only triggers a REGEN notification. I tested on several drawings, uninstalled and reverted back one build and everything works as should.

CMS IntelliCAD 13.1.469 viewport annotation scaling is comparable to Autodesk AutoCAD's.
Please provide the exacts steps to replicate the issue you're referring to.

I support a sole practitioner Architect in Michigan, and just installed the Feb 27th maintenance update for him on his Windows 11 PC. He is having the exact same problems as the OP. I just downloaded and ran the 13.1 update as a trial on my personal Windows 11 PC and am also seeing the exact same thing on a fresh install. It should be evident to CMS that this is occuring and anyone who intalled the update needs a fix ASAP. I don't know if we have the previous installer saved or not, you should offer it on your download page until this is fixed.

Steps:
- Opened file 'Iso Hatch patterns.dwg'.
- Change to Layout1
- Double click into viewport.
- Click the Annotation scales list on the bottom bar.
- Click any scale.
- Message pops up in lower right 'Regen The regen is no longer required' The message shows in the 'Events Log' viewer afterward.
- Nothing changes in the viewport, and no message in the command bar is listed. Note that viewport is unlocked.

Please help.

Yes, maybe have an issue in the Annotation scales list on the bottom bar.
But if you use the Properties Palette, the Annotation scales work.

Great point QuanNguyen! Thank you for checking that out and providing the video... I'll let my client know there is a workaround. Hopefully CMS has a fix soon.

Thank you for the replies. This had me pulling my hair out. I'll patiently await the fix. Thank you for the work around Quan. I thought I tried this before reverting versions and didn't get the same result. It would display a new scale in properties but not affect the viewport.

I understand the frustration, as this issue seems to have affected multiple users after the February 27th update. It’s good to see that some of you have found a workaround using the Properties Palette, as noted by QuanNguyen. Hopefully, CMS is aware of this and will be working on a fix soon. For those experiencing the same issue, it may help to continue using this workaround for the time being.

For those who are still struggling with the issue, it might be worth trying the following steps:

Ensure the viewport is unlocked.

Try adjusting the scale viapoki action games Properties Palette as suggested.

Double-check that all other settings in the annotation scales are set correctly.

It seems like CMS should offer the previous version as a temporary option until the fix is rolled out, but for now, let’s hope they resolve it quickly. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend contacting CMS support directly to report your issue for quicker resolution.

Thanks to everyone for your input and patience. Let’s stay hopeful that a fix is on the way soon!

CMS had initially responded above, would CMS please update the forum on the status of a fix? I had also sent a few messages to support@etoolbox.com with no reply.
