Text and linestype scales in paper spce

I am using Civil3D 2011 and I am working on 1:1 model space scale. When I go to paperspace and open a scaled viewport, the texts and linetype scales change. What can i o to make them look the same as in model space?

In the both the base and sheet  files use these settings (if 2 separate files)

 

MSLTSCALE=1

PSLTSCALE=1

LTSCALE=1

 

Set the MS Scale and VP scale to desired project scale.

 

This way the MS scale and VP scale set your linetype scales.

 

We have these variables set as shown in all of our dwt's so users don't have to worry about anything

other than which VP & MS scales to use.

Hi, my model sp[ace scale is 1:1 and my paper space viewport  is 1:75 on A1 (page setup of scale 1:1). I have tried using the 3 commands but it is still changing my linescales and text height. What is it that I am still doing wrong??

Make them equal MS = PS Annotation Scale.

Here are a few copied words from previous post to hopefully give you a better understanding. There are tons of previous post regarding this issue.

There was similar issue like this where all the annotation scale chaging when doing a regen in Paper space.

It was fixed by changing the Toolspace->Drawing Settings->Custom scale to 1:1000 and drawing units to Meters.
