I am a new user of C3D. When I size the text ex. of the profile road in model space and it looks good it is to small on the paper space viewport. Anyone out there for help?

Two things.

1) Right click on the drawing name under settings in the toolspace. Check the scale there.

2) Imperial or Metric? Make sure in your plot settings that the correct options is checked. If your drawing is in metric, but you choose imperial settings (or it changes due to paper size or whatever) then it screws up your viewport scaling. Metric for Metric scaling, Imperials for Imperial scaling.

See, I'm smart like that...I knew you'd done something, just couldn't
remember when and was too lazy to go look 😉
