Annotative Text Enlarging at Plot

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Feb 2018 22:01:44 GMT

Hi,

I'm having a seemingly unsolvable problem while using annotative text.

I have text size set to 1/8" in an annotative text style and Annotation Scale set to 3/16". Text appears correctly (at 8") in modelspace.

Text also appears correctly in paperspace. Where I have an issue is when I go to plot. Text sizes up to 5/16" in both preview and finished plot. Text created in paperspace sizes correctly.

This occurs with both native AutoCAD fonts and downloaded fonts.

Any fix?

Lots of thanks.

Hi,

Can you attach your problem drawing (or a part of it with annotative text)?

PREVIEW will generally REGEN your file before displaying it: is your viewport scale actually set to what you think it is set to?

Yes, I'll DM it to you. Thanks for the help.

Yes, viewports are set to 3/16".

After examining the OP's drawing, the problem was solved by setting view direction perpendicular to the drawing plane inside viewport with PLANE command.
