Ian Graham Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) If I have a plan in my file and am doing a blow up detail of part of the plan on a saved sheet via viewport , the text is huge . I can go into Object Info and select Advanced properties and scale text so it looks same as other text. Problem solved. BUT If I import a plan from external resource [ another file ] and import the plan into a larger scale , for say , millwork , the text is huge. Is there a way to control this as we did with above > Object Info and select Advanced properties and scale text so it looks same as other text. When I do , the dialogue box is limited and doesn't give me the option to scale text . We have been looking on web for answers , but nothing Any ideas ? Thanks Ian Edited December 3, 2013 by Ian Graham Quote Link to comment

This video is a bit old, but the steps within it should still be valid and correct badly scaled text: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/442/Importing+DWG+Files Quote Link to comment
atari2600 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Are you importing the file directly as a sheet layer viewport, or importing it onto a design layer, to then create a sheet layer viewport of that? Perhaps try the opposite of what you are doing to see if that works. (I hope I am making sense.) Matt Quote Link to comment
Ian Graham Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 importing into a design layer, creating a viewport in design layer . For example I am doing a vanity millwork detail , plan , elevations , sections and details , I will import the plan from the architectural file . I will try doing everything as viewports in saved sheets to see if I can remedy this. Thanks ! Ian Quote Link to comment
