HDbyJustin Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Ok, I will try this again and maybe explain better what I am looking to do. I will attach a "cheat sheet" I have used for years with text heights based on scale. My background is Autocad and model space. Since there is a print limitation on the HomeDesigner package, I am printing to 12x18 (Arch.B) and then doubling in Adobe to a 24x26. My floor plans are almost always 1/4" = 1'-0". In order for that floor plan to fit on a 12x18 sheet, I have to send it to the layout at 1/8" = 1'-0". The only issue I have is text height during this process. At 1/8" = 1'-0", text height would be 9" printed, if I double the pdf @ 200% to print on a 24x36 and give me a 1/4" = 1'-0" print, the text height becomes 18" instead of 4-1/2" (which is my standard 1/4" = 1'-0" text height). Is anybody else fighting this or is it just me? I have gone through all the settings and presets since that is the standard go to answer around here. And I am also aware that the software does what I tell it to do and so on and so forth. I am merely asking what others are doing to work around this. My fix at this point, using the above example is setting the text to be a text height for a 1/2" = 1'-0" scale so that when it doubles it will leave me with a text height of 4-1/2".

HDbyJustin Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Nothing wrong with it, I was just wondering if that was what other people were doing. If there is a better way I like to use the better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I think it's the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDbyJustin Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 It seems to work pretty good, it does make it difficult to see on screen since the text in view is so small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDbyJustin Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Well I will correct myself, my theory did not work. The text is still incredibly small, even when I scale the pdf up 200%. Any suggestions on setting the text height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
