Does anyone know how to turn off the autoscaling feature for the Civil3D generated line and curve tables in a viewport? When I zoom the viewport and get the table just the right size in the viewport, then I regenerate the drawing, Acad automatically resizes the table making the table a completely different size than what I want. Very frustrating. If I could just turn this feature off, that would be great.
Thanks

Now:
As far as I know you can't. You need to understand that the table is going to be sized to the scale of your viewport. SO when in model space please set your scale to the same scale as your viewport. This should clear up your problems.

The size you are seeing the table at when you regen is the size based on the table style.
If you want to change the size of your table as it will appear on the plan you will need to change the size in the table style. (Better to copy the style and edit that)
None of this works. The table changes size every time I zoom in or out and nothing locks the size except exploding the table. I've used non-annotative text. Very frustrating.
As I said in my post, the table style sets the way the table will appear.
The setting for table styles are the size the objects will appear on the plan you print.
It you have a viewport that is set to 1:100,the table will scale within that so that the text in the table will appear at the size set in the table style.
If the same table is then viewed through a 1:1000 viewport, the table appearance will scale so that the text in the table will appear at the size set in the table style through that viewport.
If you have the two viewport side by side, the table will appear the same size through both, even though they are different scales.
This is the way they are designed. (Profile views and section views work in similar fashions)
If you want to see how your table will appear, set the annotation scale in model space to the same scale as you want in your viewport in paperspace, then regen the drawing.
This will scale the table to the size that works for the viewport scale to have the table show in paperspace at the size set in the table style.
If you want the table to appear at a different size edit the table style.

I try and explain how civil 3d tables work and how to address your problem and you are rude.
I have been using Autocad for over 20 years and Civil 3d for 10 of those.
If you do not like the answers you get, you are quite welcome to figure it out for yourself like a lot of us had to years ago.
Mark as a peer to peer user group your are welcome to scroll past any suggestion that you are not interested in.
As for the work-around I'm not convinced it is. I and others are not seeing the same issue you are seeing. Post a drawing so it can be examined fully.

@mackland, as Joe said, this is a peer to peer forum. So please remember that almost all of us posting here are end users, just as you are. If you want to come here to blow off steam due to being frustrated with Civil3D, fine. But please refrain from being rude to those trying to help. Plus, being rude when posting your full contact information and links to the company you work for is just asking for trouble.
I use tables extensively and do not have the issues you describe. I recall seeing similar, perhaps the same, issue at one time, but I followed other's suggestions and tables have behaved for me for years now. So, as you've been asked a few times, please post a drawing file demonstrating the problem and we should be able to help you solve it...and lower your frustration level at the same time.
