CIVIL 3D Layout Sheets

 Hi, I am having a problem plotting my civil 3D plans. The labels and annotations keeps on scaling up.

I have tried everything from annotation scale to standard scale.

See screenshot below:

Are you checking your viewport scale?

Is your viewport locked?

Yes. I checked my viewport scale.
And also I've tried both display locked as yes and no, still the same.

If regen all doesn’t fix it and all you post previously is correct, then my gut tells me to examine the style definition and be sure the text height is set to a potted height not a model space height

Check your page setup plot scale.  For imperial units is should be set to 1"=1' to get the scaling conversion from model space tot paperscape to work correctly.

Hi,

Where can I examine the style definition and be sure the text height is set to a potted height, not a model space height?

You said you checked your viewport scale but is it the same as your model scale?

I've tried all the solution, 

But it keeps on coming back on a larger scale.

I've tried all the following:

-Manage text style

-annotative, tried on and off

-match the viewport scale and model scale

 

I just exploded all of my labels so that it can match the cad sheet layout scale.

 

I hope Autodesk could provide a solution for this.

Hello, 

 

There could be a couple things going on here, Depending on how you started your drawing template this could be an metric - imperial problem. If you are using Imperial and label styles are set to metric or vice versa that could be causing you the grief. if you are wanting imperial text height like 5/64" but the style is set to a metric height 2.54 that could be why your text is coming in so large. have a look and let me know, 

 

Regards,

Josh

Thanks for all of your help.

unfortunately, still doesn't work.

I just exploded all the labels to make it readable and scaled in layout views.
