Text changes size when pasted into a block

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 22:40:05 GMT

I am trying to copy text into a block, but when I paste it into the block it comes out much smaller. Any ideas?

The text is purposely on paperspace in case you guys were wondering. Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I am not sure what your process is here. Can you attach a file with your block and some sample text so i can give you some suggestions?

Hi @Anonymous,

I copied the text from the top into a lower spot in your Mtext. It retained its original size of 1/32"

Since it is already part of the same Mtext is there a reson not to just eliminate the blank space between bodies of text?

Hi John,

Thank you for all your help. It was actually a drawing units issue. I needed to make my precision higher. When I did that, I noticed that some of my text were different sizes

I just had to make everything the same size. Easy fix!
