Text size issue when plotting a drawing from Civil 3D

I opened a drawing with an xref created in Civil 3D. The text sizes plot too small. Is there a way to correct this ? I am using a ctb plot style.

Is it annotative text (resizes per plot scale)?
or do you just need to plot to a much larger sheet size and plot scale (1:10 vs 1:1000)?
Or is it just too small in general and you need to contact the C3D user for help making it bigger in their file for your needs?

at pendean ,

The text is annotative in the Civil 3D program and is set to the correct scale. On my monitor when viewing the sheet file (in paper space) the text appears correct. When plotted the text is too small in the actual plot (large format Canon ink jet plotter). My coworker who created the Civil 3D xref, claims he got something that fixed the issue when he plots, but he can't remember how he did it. When he plots the drawing there is no issue with the annotative text size.

I am hoping there is a CAD setting that will correct this. It is not a plotter issue.

Thanks

Post a screenshot of your plot dialog box and of your viewport scale

Post your DWG file and a screenshot of your PLOT command just before you hit that OK button that creates the "...When plotted the text is too small in the actual plot...". Sounds like you may just have missed something.
