I am trying to set up my template for architectural drawings. I would like to use annotative text and dimensions and leaders. I have selected a font and am trying to set my Paper Space text height to 3/32" so all drawings in all scales have text of 3/32". When I type in 3/32" it returns a value of 1/8". How do I get it to recognize the 3/32" value. Also if I save this in the dwt file will it always be set for this?
View 7 RepliesIs there a way to modify the DEFAULT SCALE LIST to show a metric scale list in an imperial template? I mean, I start a drawing using the imperial template, but i want to use the standard metric scales on paper space. on previous versions the scale list shown both imperial & metric. Now it depends of what the template is using.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe've a drawing template we've used for years with no issue. Recently, it's gone a bit strange. Text on the template is resizing itself, and we don't know why.
We open a drawing template and it looks fine. We go into iproperties to edit some of the fields. When we exit the iproperties, some text has somehow made itself huge, and other text has gone small. I'm suspecting this is something to do with the styles library, which we've only recently started using.
I am working on a Global Company Civil 3D template. We had about 10 people initially working on creating it and now I am cleaning it up.
Unfortunately we have a Text Style being used somewhere within our template that we want to get rid of.
Are there any tools or methods to be able to find this Text Style?
I have personally gone through all the dialogue boxes trying to find it an cannot.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing AutoCAD Map 3D 2012 Im exporting a few subdivisions to MapInfo after doing my steps on a MAPEXPORT command to create a .TAB or .MIF / .MID which are the steps do below.
MAPEXPORT --> select format_ .TAB or .MIF ---> select my drawing manually ----> do my coordinate conversion -----> DONE..
When in MAPINFO and ready to open / import the exported .TAB it opens and places the drawings (subdivisions) in its correct coordinate I gave it, but the TEXT and ARC / CIRCLES do not come in to scale at all they are extremely large to a point where they can't be seen till I do a zoom all.
When I create new drawing, for example, the drawing looks good in 1:400 scale and text I use 1mm height for bearing & distance and it looks good and readable(not too big or small). However, when I create the new drawing and scale it to 1:2500, I don't know what size should I set for my text so it will looks good and readable.So, my method is to set random size so it would look good in model and paper size the print it out.But, sometimes, the text will looks big or too small on actual paper. Then I need to repeat the process till it readable.
My question is, can autocad scale the text size automatically when I create new drawing at different scale .
I have this layout inside cloud area i want to standard setting like if i want to print on A3 paper which text height i need to use dimension title block etc.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a structural xref drawing that has all the text 10"high. I xref (overlay) that drawing into another one, but that drawing is going to have a scale 1/4"=1'-0" is there a way to auto scale all the text in to xref to become 4" high?
a bit more information
the structural drawing that im xrefing in will be overlayed over my floorplans, then printed at the 1/4"=1'-0"
I need the structural base drawing to keep the 10" text height because some times i have to print off the entire structural plan separate.
I have a 50 scale drawing and my section views are 10 scale. The text size is correct in paperspace viewports, but is much too large in model space, and makes it difficult to work on the sections in model space. (I've attached a pdf of sections in model space).

I am unsure about the best way of dealing with text in drawings. Originally I used to put my text in model space - which was fine until I started using multiple layouts in paperspace at different scales. The text would come out either to big or too small.
Others in my office say they put the text in paperspace ONLY at the right scale for that layout. This is fine until you realize that if you have to put text in 4 different layouts at 4 different scales 4 different times it takes forever.
So - I looked up about a command called SPACETRANS which seems to offer a way of working out the right scale for the text in paperspace. EG. Working in mm in model space a good text height for me was 1000. By using the spacetrans command in paperspace I worked out that the text height to be used here was 9.2. This basically gave me my text in paperspace at the relatively same height as it looked in model space.
I now realize that although I can scale my text happily to the right size in all my layouts it hasn't negated the need for me to type it all in many times over. Basically, I still have to type the text into paperspace at the right scale - in this example at 9.2.
How you can type your text in once anywhere (probably model space) and then scale it in all the different viewports without having to retype it all in?
I have successfully created one drawing using annotative dims and text - I have set my text to 1:1 scale, height = 30 in paperspace (although I don't get what this refers to when it automatically says it's 30 in modelspace too) and my viewport is 1:20 scale. It's all good, the dims and text look great, which is what I want at the end of the day, however I got there.
But, when I want to set up another detail at 1:40 scale, I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the same dim and text style appear the same size as it was for the 1:20 detail.
In paperspace the text are so out of scale and it only shows a specific area of the model view.the other viewports will have a realistic and 2d wireframe.

editing the text in a web page template that I downloaded from a free template web site. The page is .psd file, I opened it in photoshop ver 6, went on to those layers which are having text. the layers clearly denotes T , I double clicked on T but as per tutorial I read on a web site, the text is not highlighted or selected, instead the blinking cursor comes over that text and when i try to write something it overwrite the new text over the previous one and previous text is as it is as its before.
I also tried to edit the text by going on vertical tool bar, clicking the T button, and then double clicking on the required text but it also doesnt work. After going through couple of tutorial websites and reading it, I came to know that text layer might be rasterized, I checked in the main menu, the layer is not rasterized and clearly show the letter T.
