Enabling the display locked setting to No allows the CAD designer to adjust the viewport scale without automatically adding annotation scales to annotative objects. When the display is locked, changes made to the viewport scale will not reflect in the annotative properties, leading to potential complications when annotative objects must match different viewports. By setting the display to not be locked, the designer retains flexibility; this means that while viewports can be adjusted, the annotative objects will not inadvertently inherit or adopt new scales, ensuring that the annotations remain consistent and manageable across various viewport settings.

In this case, the choice available directly relates to how annotations behave in conjunction with viewport scaling, leading to a more controlled and predictable annotation environment within the drawing.
