    Hi again,

     

    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.

     

    Please suggest what to do next. I spent the part of the superbowl sunday trying to figure this out.

     

    thanks again.

    Did you regenerate the display after zooming in the viewport? If not activate the viewport by double clicking on it. Type RE into the command line and hit enter.

    Looks like the viewport is zoomed to extents, zoom into to the area you would like to show in that viewport and regenall, text should resize. All civil3d labels are based on a scale factor of the annotation scale. Your viewport it is at zoom extents, so the labels are being scaled to that annotation scale.

    If a regen doesn't fix it check the units in the page setup.  These need to match your paperspace units: typically inches or mm (I trust you know whether it should be inches or mm!)

    Those buttons do nothing for Civil 3D labels.
