Switching between scales and everything blows up to a huge scale.

Switching between scales and everything blows up to a huge scale.

Hi,

All of a sudden, if I switch between scales, say 1:100 to 1:20, everything in the model space and paper space blows up to a huge scale. I haven't changed any settings or anything like that. 

Wondering why this would be happening and if anyone might know a fix or what has gone wrong?

 

I have attached screen shots of 1. at 1:100 and then 2. when I switch to 1:20.

 

It was working completely fine switching between scales, I had completed my drawings and was about to do my finish up in paper space to print PDF's and it started happening??

 

Thanks so much in advance!!

Catherine.

Greetings @catherine_heincke
A few dumb questions if I may:

1) Are you unfamiliar with Annotative Text and dimensions and objects by chance? That seems to be what has happened.

2) Or you are familiar with it, but the settings are way off? For example you recently changes from using units=mm to units=inches in that DWG file? Or did you manually change STYLE settings to make a text larger not realizing it have a bigger impact like this?

3) or is this a file from someone else that you two need to discuss about together since that is how they set everything up?

Hi pendean,

Thanks so much for getting back to me!

I’m very familiar with scale and style. I haven’t changed any settings etc. I came back to it after a break and it just started doing it.

I had all my dimensions and annotations scaled correctly.

File isn’t from anyone else either.

So weird! Any ideas??

Thank you… :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

Annotative, one is 1:100 the other 1:20

I’m very familiar with scale and style? 

Not the same thing.

Share your DWG file here if restarting your PC does not put things back together and it continues to do so.

Hi @catherine_heincke 

 

Looks like you are dealing with at least two drawings: 

  1. The drawing you are copying from AND
  2. The drawing which you are pasting to.

Are you copying titleblocks from a Layout Tab or from modelspace?

 

Are you pasting to an architectural drawing where the Drawing Units are inches?

 

The big text shown in your uploaded image suggests objects, such as mtext and blocks, are being scaled since they’ve been pasted. Changing the cannoscale may cause annotative objects to get bigger, such as when imperial objects (annotative text, blocks) react to metric units. 

 

Can you share your drawings for evaluation?
