Keep Model Space Text Same Text Height when Zooming from Paper Space

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I've come across a bunch of annotative scaling answers for this question but I can't seem to get them to work.

I'd like to create a text style, dim style, and leader style that can be used in model space, but appear as 2.5mm in paper space no matter what the viewport scaling is.

I am currently using an annotative text style set to 2.5 text height in an Arch D layout set to mm. At a 1:1 viewport scale, the text is the right height. However, when I zoom in and out it still reacts to the viewport scaling. I have to create drawings at multiple viewport scales and I don't want to have to manually change the annotation scale every time I zoom.

What is the best option to have text in model space automatically update so that it maintains a 2.5mm height in paper space when the viewport scale changes?

Thanks,

Branden

Annotative objects will react to defined scale values. (not an arbitrary zoom)   This is done in model space by setting a drawing scale and in model space by setting a scale for the viewport. (note; viewports can have a 'scale' and an 'annotative scale' setting)   For annotative objects to react to a given sale they also need to have that scale assigned to the object.  This can be set in the object's properties, from a right click menu, or by setting an ANNOAUTOSCALE variable to assign scales when they are set in model space or a viewport.

To add a bit to what @MMcCall402 said, AutoCAD annotative objects will not be a viable solution for this (as far as I know). Civil 3D labels react to the viewport scale and not the annotation scale so they will always be the same size on the printed paper regardless of the viewport/annotation scale. A General Note label might get you what you need.
