Custom line won't scale anymore...

a few weeks ago my custom line would scale right.  Now it just doesn't do anything.  The words in my custom lines alway stay small no matter what scale I change it to.

What about you blocking out the line and post it.

I draw the line at 1"=1', and it still looks like this no matter what scale I change it to afterwards.  Even in paper space it doesn't work right.  My tree line works fine but custom line with words in it just stays the same.  Very tiny.  thoughts?  Are these pictures what you were looking for?

Was the text style used in the linetype redefined to have a constant height?

I'm guessing it was set at a constant height.  It was a annotative text.  When I first created the line I used the annotative text.  then when it was all done and made a new line using the custom line next to the original to compare, only my original text would change.  The custom line wouldn't.

 

Even the normal fence wires from the aeccland.file does the same thing.

check the style of text you're using in the linetype.  if someone has modified the text styles in your template to redefine/modify the embedded text font in the linetype definition, then things can go haywire.

Yep, you're right.  Thanks.  I turned off the annotative.  Tried it again.  Still did the same thing.  Then changed the auto text height to the approriate scale I want and it worked.  Thanks again to both of you guys.
