Model and Layout text scale issue

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi, 

 

Hoping someone can help! 

 

I was drawing at the office and tried to continue working from home on a recently installed software. Office was Autocad 2018 and home is Autocad civil 3d 2018 - Not that I imagine that would be a drama. 

 

The text styles, font and heights are the same but from home they seem scaled up? In model space on the blocks and general mtext. Where it gets confusing is the title block in paper space is also doing the same thing, as attributes (xref) it seems to be a system variable setting not unlike LTSCALE, I've just run out of experience and knowledge! 

 

Please see the images attached. One is off the correct scale PDF and the second is a plot off the incorrect scale DWG. 

 

Thanks in advance!

ATTSYNC didn't work. I've attached a couple of images of the issue.

 

Unfortunately i can't attach a DWG due to it being a title block and having company and client information attached.

Open you file, press [F2] to read the textscreen informations.

Can you see the issue?

Keywords are SHX TTF FONTS..

 

Next time, use ETRANSMIT to copy a project and enable all options to include external files (like FONTs and other stuff)

Thanking you greatly! It was substituting missing shx fonts. Rookie error! - I always use etransmit for clients, not for myself. CHEERS!
