Labels/Text aligning to layout print out very bold.

When I have my alignment labels and plan view text align to the layout view in Paper Space they plot out very bold. 

I am using Style: Swis721 BT-Italic.  I use that style in the profile for labels and in plan view.  When I plot out the sheet the profile view plots good but the text that was aligned in the plan view is very bold.  Is there a simple fix for this issue?

 

Thanks.

Sherry

Could you post a caption of the issue?

Version?

VP lineweight overrides in use?

Lineweight settings in styles set to "bylayer?

I attached a pdf of my page.  The text in the profile view is the same as the text in the plan view. 

As you can see, the plan view text comes out very bold and blurry.

 

I am working in C3D Version 14.  I don't know how to check the VP lineweight overrides.  The lineweights are set to "bylayer".

 

Thanks for your help.

It appears that the text height in the majority of plan view notes is set to a smaller text height than the Profile Note.

 

Also verify the lineweights assigned to the layer/layers the notes are on make sense and aren't causing text to plot thicker.

To see if there are any Viewport Overrides for Lineweight, click into Model Space of plan view viewport and open layer manager and go to VP Lineweight column.

I changed the text to all be 0.08 to match the height of the label in the profile. 

I verified that the lineweights assigned to the layer/layers make sense and they are not causing the text to plot thicker.

I check the viewport overrides and every thing is set to default. Default is 0.13 mm.

 

I think it has something to do with the text aligning to the viewport. "Match Orientation to Layout"

I started over with plan production and created new sheets and it seemed to fix the issue.

 

Thanks for your help.
