Revit text size plotting issue

[Adriaan.debelderEE9S6]

Just an issue I was struggling with and might save other people's time with by making a quick post..

Issue:

Revit (2020) plots its annotated texts too small wich makes the made layout messy. Text boxes seem to move on plotted PDF's.

Solution:

After searching online few topics emerged, but one which really helped me to determine the problam was due to external screens connected to the windows 10 pc. One of the 2 screens connected takes a resulotion haigher that the other but both are set to 100% scaling (at 1920x1080).

Starting up Revit without the external screens connected resolves the issue, even when screens are connected again after Revit is booted.

Alse a quick hint to Autodesk to look into this issue(if it has not yet been fixed in the 2022 version, which i cant confirm)

Text in Revit will plot the assigned height in Revit.  Ex: 1/8" text will plot at 1/8" height regardless of view scale.  So, create your text to the desired height with which you want it displayed on paper.

Aside from that, the text was plotted in different sizes coming from the same revit model but on different computers.
This implies it's most probably a setup issue, not a user error.
