Hi , have a doubt regarding text height .. as in autodesk they mentioned text height (annotation element) is relative to scale of view ,it should work(maximise & minimise) bassed on scale vary but for some scales its not working like that...for example text height is 2.5mm for scale 1:50 &1:25 it will work nice but for 1:100 & 1:200 text look bigger in view ,so any option is there to set same text height for any scale ?
Hi Vinay, text height in annotation elements is indeed intended to be relative to the scale of the view to ensure readability and consistency. However, as you've noticed, sometimes the text might not scale as expected for certain view scales like 1:100 or 1:200. Here are a few suggestions and steps you can take to manage text height across different view scales in Revit: 1. **Use "Annotative" Text:** Revit doesn't have a direct annotative text feature like AutoCAD, where text automatically adjusts based on the scale of the viewport. However, you can manually adjust text sizes for different scales. 2. **Adjust Text Sizes Manually:** For views with scales like 1:100 or 1:200 where text appears larger than desired, you can manually adjust the text size:
- Select the text element in your view. - Open the element properties or the properties palette. - Modify the text size property to reduce it until it looks appropriate for the scale of the view. 3. **Create View-Specific Text Types:** You can create different text types specifically tailored for different scales. For example, you might have a "Text - Large" type for smaller scales (like 1:50) and a "Text - Small" type for larger scales (like 1:100 or 1:200). This way, you can easily switch between text types depending on the scale of the view. 4. **Use Dimension Styles:** If the text you're referring to is within dimensions, consider adjusting dimension styles for different scales. Dimension styles control the appearance of dimension text, including text height. 5. **Check Printing/Export Settings:** Sometimes, discrepancies in text size might appear due to print or export settings. Ensure that your printing settings (such as print scale) are correctly configured. 6. **Experiment and Test:** It's essential to test your annotation elements (including text) in different views and scales to ensure they appear correctly. Sometimes, adjusting the text size slightly can make a significant difference in readability and appearance. 7. **Report Issues to Autodesk Support:** If you encounter persistent issues with text scaling in specific scenarios despite following best practices, consider reporting the issue to Autodesk support. They can provide further guidance or investigate if it's a software-related issue.
