Enhanced Attribute scale looks diffrent from one computer to another

Anonymous — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 12:26:21 GMT

Hello,

All the same fonts are loaded on both computers, I open up the drawing on one computer everything is normal I open up the same drawing on another computer all the text in the enhanced attribute is huge, it still shows in the same scale. the scale of the text is 3/16 so if I change the drawing scale to 3/16 and annorset the text it is fixed but does not work in paper-space. and if I save the drawing and reopen it its back to how it was with the text being larger.

Can someone Help?

Post your drawing (.dwg) and let someone open it, maybe they can help you pin point why.

I attached one of the drawings not sure how it will open up on someone else's computer.

Was this drawing started out as Autocad or was it exported from another program?

If the text is the problem, isolate the layer and use express tools to explode attributes to text, fix the text height and forget it.

How many dozens of files created this one DWG file? Looks like a LL plan sourced from dozens of architects plans slammed together without much cleanup.

I counted 83 text styles in the one file and all are in use: and many with unique FONTS too. I suspect you truly have no control over what fonts is used where.

Are you allowed to actually cleanup and fix this file? CHECKSTANDARDS command is slow to use but it will be time well invested in this huge mess of a drawing.

Up for it?

yes thank you I will be doing that as well! thanks for the idea, these drawings have been copy and pasted for years and years, this is one of the more simples floors.
