Hi,
Is there a setting in Revit that allow automatic scaling of all texts, room tags, annotations, etc to match view scale accordingly whenever view port scales are changed?
Thanks
soo
hi, not possible at all. it follow's the view scale.thanks
Viewport rules apply only to AutoCAD ... Revit functions differently when it comes to scalling aspect
On Screen, Revit scales (or better say applies a scale factor to) text and tags relative to the scale of the view. However; text will always print the height it is set to in its Type properties. If you have a text type setup for 4/16" or 3mm height, it will always be 4/16" or 3mm relative to the view scale.
If you add a Graphic Scale representation to you prints you ll get the concept better

Except for drawing the text in model/details lines, is there no way of having the same effect? It seems like a bit of a no-brainer to allow scaling of details items. For example, if you draw something in 1:100 but then decide to have it to 1:200 as it fits better then rather than changing all lines, text etc by half it would be so easy to just put so that 1:200 is 50% scale. Same thing with 1:50. I would be happy enough if detail groups could scale and I could apply the scale to the group itself.
It seems not that intelligent to create 3 types of text for 3 scales. Even if it is easy enough to do, that obviously means 3x the amount of work if you decide to change the text for whatever reason (make it bold, underline it, change font etc).
You just need to stop trying to relate this back to how CAD worked. It makes far more sense to have a consistent print size. Our firms standard is 3/32" for all text. So we know that is our text size no matter what scale the drawing is at.
We of course have other text styles saved into our template for specific circumstances, but again, it is way more simple to think "I want this text a little bigger, better make it 1/8" rather than thinking "I want this a bit bigger, but its at a smaller scale, so I actually need to make the text x amount smaller to get the right change".

The intent of annotation is one text size shall display the same on paper regardless of scales. Imagine you have have details of 1:10, :20, and 1:100 on one sheet and you have 3 different text sizes on that sheet? No thanks.
Even AutoCAD got with the time (like 15 years ago) by introducing Annotative for text, attributes, and dimensions so that they work exactly like those in Revit.
