I won't get too deep because I am waiting for the annotation labeling to get
corrected for Civil 3D or I am satisfied that they work correctly.
The last time I used them, I tried to Copy -> Paste between 2 different
drawings and all H___ broke loose.
When you are talking about LABELS, I will assume you are talking about Civil
3D labels. If your labels look good in a 40 Scale viewport you just make
another layout and use a 100 scale viewport. The labels will be the same
plotted size, provided you follow correct procedures and are plotting in
paperspace at 1" = 1'. (Imperial)

I wanted to verify some issues about annotation scale, if anyone could help.
I have spent most of this morning reading the various threads, and quoted
one below.
Am I correct in understanding that labels will NOT be affected by what the
viewport annotation scale is set to? And there is no setting that can be
changed to toggle off annotation for labels? This seems like a major
show-stopping issue, if it is the case. For instance, if you have a bunch of
surface labels that look great at 40 scale, but then want to do a few other
sheets at 100 scale but don't want to increase the size of the label text,
you are hosed. Am I understanding this correctly? If they would just react
with the viewport annotation scale, the problem would be completely solved.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thank you in advance.
