Text and Profiles are showing up too large in Layouts

[jpache39]

my file is showing the annotations for the alignment are way too big since I modified the text height in the model space. My layout will show the text way too big. Also, the alignment profile is coming out too large and is not visible.

You have to use plan production tools in Civil 3D to get things smoothly fit into the layout sheets.

Civil 3d annotation text gets scaled to the height set in the text style based on the view scale that is current.

It the text height in the style is set to 2, the text will be scaled to be 2 units high if it is plotted based on the scale is active. This allows the one piece of text to appear and be plotted at the same height through two different viewports at different scale. 

When you modify the text height in the style, work on the principle that the value you set is the height the text will appear when plotted.

If you want to see how the Civil 3d annotation text is going to appear in a viewport, set the same scale in model space.

Uh, "have to"?  No, you don't.

I've done hundreds, maybe thousands of plan/profiles and never once used the plan production tools.
