point display in paper space

johndehan · ‎11-17-2016

I am using Civil3d 2014

The point style (PD) is not being scaled correctly in paper space. I cant get it to come out smaller.

Do the labels re-size when you zoom within the viewport (you might have to regen to get it to update)? If so, just change the label size in the label style composer.

You can also check the scale used in the drowing propoerties. Go in the settings tab, than right click on the drawing name, then check if the scale is the same you are using in paper space.

I think the OP is talking about the Acad Point as opposed to C3D's cogo point.

What are PDSIZE & PDMODE set to?

Hello and thank you for your input.

I t\changed the scale to match paper space and the point style labels did not change.

johndehan · ‎11-17-2016

Hello and thanks for the answer. I changed the scale as suggested and it did not alter the size of the point labels in paper space.

These are civil3d cogo points.

The pdsize is 0.5, pdmode 0

Check your viewport scales. Annotation scale effects labels and other 'annotation' objects, the standard scale effects the overall scale. If these aren't both right odd things can happen.

Hi again, once you could not solve it with the scales, try now to find the text style you are using in your label, maybe the style is been set to a fix text high, try to change the text style or choose other style, like a standard one.

I'm wondering if the Point Label Style is set to a FIX height vs, by drawing scale.

The point text changes with a scale change in model space but not in paper space

Make sure the Plot Scale in Page Setup Manager is set to 1"=1' and your viewport scale is the scale it needs to be.
