Odd Annotation Behavior between Templates

[marc.dandrea]

Hi all,

I'm having a really weird situation happening to me at the moment. I have a file with 11 sheets in it, its a plan and profile drawing so every sheet has the same set up. Last week everything was fine. This week, Sheet 1 and Sheet 11 are fine, but sheets 2-10's annotation scale is way off. All my labels for alignments and profiles are too small to see.

If i copy a viewport from sheet 1 into sheet 2-10, the same thing happens and shrinks the labels to nothing. If i copy a viewport from 2-10 into 1 or 11, the labels show up at the proper size.

My question here is has anyone ran into this happening before? and is there a way to copy settings from sheet to sheet as I'm assuming it has something to do with the layout itself.

P.S the labels are coming in from an xref file.

Thanks,

Marc

check that your page setup is actually applied to sheets 2-10. it used to be an issue in older versions of metric drawings using imperial titleblocks.

if that doesn't work, try unlocking the vp and resetting the annotation scale.

good luck!

X-Reffing labels can produce disastrous results (as you're finding out.) because you're xreffing Data with a Style assigned to it. Are the misbehaving labels on the Profiles or Alignments? Are you familiar with Data Referencing (Shortcutting?)

@randyspear6624 That didn't work but thanks for the suggestion. 

@mconway The misbehaiving labels are on both the alignment and the profiles. I'm familiar with shortcuts didn't think about shortcutting it in and having the labels live in the drawing. I could always just do that.

That is the best workflow. Allowing you to modify Styles on Objects and Labels as needed. Be sure that your production sheets have the same Styles an your Source Drawings. Also, Don't forget that you'll need a Profile View (Grid) to "see" a Profile (Line) in your production drawings.
