I am drawing and annotating simple elevations in AutoCAD LT for mac and have been using the same annotative dim style for the last couple of years. It's been working fine until this week. Now, it displays correctly in model space but in paper space it displays at a size that is bigger than huge.

I have attached a screen shot of one of my PS layouts. The top left viewport is displaying correctly, but as you can see the other viewports are not scaling down.

Has anyone come across this before and do you have any thoughts on how to correct it?

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi Jan,

Do you have this issue in all of your drawings or just in one?

If it is only one drawing: can you share it here?

There could be something wrong with annotation scale list in the drawing.

It appears to be just one drawing. What should I be looking for in the annotation scale list?

Thanks. . . . .

Do you see something strange / unusual in the Drawing scale list?

You can also verify supported scales for the selected annotative object:

- active viewport with problem dimension

- select dimension, right-click and select:

You should see Annotation Object Scale List Dialog Box:

Is everything all right there?

You can edit - delete or add annotation scales for selected object in this dialog.

Can you share your problem drawing (or part of it) here? I can look at it.

Thanks for the feedback. Since I a working on a deadline, I went back and created a new dim style and converted all the old dims to the new style. Now it's working fine, but I will take a look at the annotative scale when I have a break in the project.

Many thanks,

Jan
