Scale change/ text size change

[m.nachmazov]

Hi,

I have made drawings in Inventor in 1:4 scale, everything fit nicely on the sheet, but now I need to change the scale to 1:1....

When I change the scale to 1:1 everything exceeds the sheet as it got bit and the annotation size text is very small.

Is there a way how to change the scale simply from 1:4 to 1:1, somehow that I wouldnt have to change text size and sheet manually as I have many sheets to go through.

P.S. I can not upload the file.

Thanks

Hello.  Can you share more information on the drawing?  What is your sheet size?  A screen shot of both scales might help users here offer you some advice for a layout that will work for you.

Text size is not associated to the scale of the view. You could probably find some iLogic Code that would go through and set text size based on view scale, but this is similar to ACAD paper space. You set the text size you want when printed such as 1/8". No matter what the view scale is, the text is 1/8"

Text size should not change with sheet size, according to ASME Y14.5.

It is 1/8" or 3mm when printed 1:1 on paper.

Don't resize text for computer screen.

No, you'll need to set sheet size and move views.

You could use iLogic to do sheet size, scale and set different text size.
