Profile and Station labels in Viewports

[Anonymous]

I have a background I inserted into a sheet file and brought a profile and plan view into paper space through a vieport.  When I do this both the profile and alignment labels come in microscopic.  Both are set to .125 in the styles in the backgorund.

Anyone know what could cause this.  We have this issues happening in more then one file.

Possibly being re-scaled by the chspace command. If I may ask, why do you want your plan and profile in paper space?

We dont reconize that command  Must be an add-on.....Our sheet are normally in Paper Space and we are using viewports to bring the data into it.

It's a core AutoCad command at least back to 2010 version.

It only works from layout tab and "Command not allowed in Model Tab".

oh the change space command......yea, my question has nothing ot do about that.   When I bring objects into paperspace through a viewport the scaling of the profile and alignment texts are way off for some reason

Does the MS scale in the base file match the VP scale in the sheet file? These should match.

Sorry, I misunderstood the part about bringing your objects into paper space. Are the text styles in the profile view styles defined differently in your source drawing than in the target drawing? Try changing to model space and setting the drawing scale to the same scale as your viewport and see how the text looks there. Does an annotative mtext object behave the same way?

I'm trying to determine if your P&P are in the current layout drawing.  Label styles in Civil 3D don't like to be xreffed. They are DATA, NOT graphics. Labels are for plans, not models.  Shortcut the data, then label it.  Many have had success with xrefs because the scale of the xref dwg is the same as their layout drawing.

My apologies if I'm mistaken.
