HDbyJustin Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Can someone please explain dimensions styles to me? The default appears to be 1/4" = 1'-0". The plan I am working on will only fit at 1/8" = 1'-0". Then my elevations will be at a different scale in order to make it fit, as usual. When I send these plans/elevations to, is the text being adjusted automatically? For example, the 1/4" scale has a text height of 6", the 1/8" has a text height of 12", how do I ensure that my text height is correct on the layout when I sent it at 1/8"? I have some down time right now and I am just trying to refine my layout sheets. I apologize if this is a confusing question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that is your job 11 hours ago, HDbyJustin said: how do I ensure that my text height is correct on the layout You look at it and adjust manually as necessary The whole point of Default Settings and Text Defaults/Stiles is to be able to manually customize them to your liking.

HDbyJustin Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 The documentation just does not do a good job of explaining whether the software uses a scale factor to adjust the text heights is why I asked. I typically run AutoCAD professionally and I am familiar with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The software does what you tell it -- no automatic scaling. As David said "You look at it and adjust manually as necessary". I'll ask again. What is correct? What are you seeing, or not seeing that you don't like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDbyJustin Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Standard drafting calls for either 5/32 or 1/8 of overall scale factor for text height. I was just simply trying to confirm my suspicion that it did not scale automatically. I have been adjusting it manually but I was trying to see if there was a faster way. Sorry.
