Sharing what I learned: Getting and Setting CANNOSCALE (Python w/ CAD .NET API)

Hi

I’ve been trying to change the current annotation scale in modelspace, using a python node in Dynamo. Took me a while to figure out this nuance. So, I wanted to share it.

Three examples below. To actually change the CANNOSCALE, you need to access the System Variable, not just the Cannoscale object property. Seems obvious in hindsight.
Cheers

Hello!
Is it possible to explain how to have this work for newbies that begins with Dynamo and Python?

Thank you
