Text Sizing Problem

[HeatherCee]

In your drawing, does the text show as being Annotative in the Properties palette?

 

When I select the text, the type properties in the command line, the properties box says "No" next to "Annotative".

 

This is a stinker isn't it?

Hi,

I cannot reproduce any of what you describe with either of the drawings you supplied.

One thing, it is everyones pet hate (I think?) to change the standard text 'font', it is good practice to create a new 'font' i.e. Arch = Architxt.shx (or whatever shx file you use), and leave the standard at simplex.

If you send the drawing to anyone who has 'cad' send the shx file also.

 

On another note it's probably the base drawing that is the problem, can you post it (if it's not propriety)

 

Cheers Al

Here you go.

 

The annotative wasn't checked. Should my drawing scale be 1:1? Is that what you're saying?

 

Thanks y'all.

 

Yes, change the annotation scale to 1:1 and that could solve the issue. As I mentioned before, text styles that aren't annotative can still be affected by the annotation scale which is hugely annoying and something that AutoDesk need to address.

You should draw 1:1 in Model and use viewports in Layout tabs to show scale. I could not duplicate your problem here.

Thanks Al. In the drawing I posted, it was doing it to me but not to others here. There was no base drawing on that one.

I'm going to try making sure my drawing scale is 1:1 and see if that helps. If not, luckily there is a workaround by selecting the text height within the command line.

 

Again, I really appreciate everyone!

[HeatherCee]

That worked, even in my test drawing! YAY!!! Thanks times infinity!

I had a similar problem recently - drove me nuts, but when I brought the MTEXT into another drawing it acted just fine, so I just let it go at that. It must have been a setting unique to the drawing, not the block of MText.

Glad you found a solution.

I opened your file and couldn't recreate the problem. It seems to work fine. Someone else will come up with some crazy Variable we've never heard of I'm sure.

 

oops, forgot to read the solution on Page 3..... and the peasants rejoice.
