Surface Legend Table Scale Incorrect when Plotting

It is always nice when a workflow you have used for many years suddenly stops working. It prevents complacency.

For my cut and fill drawings, I have always added an additional viewport to display the surface legend table. Recently however, the scale at which the table is displayed in the drawing and the scale in which the table is plotted is different. I can’t understand why this has started to happen as I don't believe I have changed anything about this workflow recently.

How the table is displayed in the drawing

Plot Preview. The table is at a much larger scale and not possible to see.

Oh joy, scales.

Something has changed in the table style?? Something changed with the viewport scale override??

I'll be interested to see what the fix is 😄

I have seen similar issue with Point Tables. But this issue was solved after installing the latest Update Civil 2024.3 from last week.

Yes, the new 2024.3 seems to have fixed the problem.

Glad it works again. In my opinion, the implementation of tables in Civil3d leaves a lot to be desired - but we have to work with what we've got, I guess.

I don't know if you need it, but just as a little tip because it caught my eye immediately:

If you set up your tablestyle like this, you'll get an easily achiveable background masking (it's missing in your screenshots).
