Point Labelling Scale when creating a PDF

rhyssmithh — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 10:54:46 GMT

Hi,

I am having issues with the labelling of a surface when it comes to scaling the drawing. I use a 1:100 scale which is the right size for my labels but when I save the pdf the labels are massive and you can not see my drawing. I don't know if this is an issue with the labels or plotting scale?

Please help?

@rhyssmithh ,

Welcome to the AutoCAD forum.

Consider attaching the drawing for all to review.

Also, check your plot scale is 1:1 ; then set the viewport scale (in your case 1:100).

Thanks, I have uploaded screen shots.

I have the scale in 1:100 as this is the size I want my labels and then zoom out to get the full site which is why the scale has changed when I zoom out.

As you can see from the PDF all my points are now unreadable and scaled really large.

@rhyssmithh ,

Determine your text height based on your scale (Annotative scaling).

Check your Styles and Point Label Style in Properties.

@rhyssmithh ,

I am sure if you post the drawing, anyone on the forum can help identify the issue.
