Drawing Tool-DWG and TEXT problem, need help.

[Anonymous]

I need help with the Drawing Tool, have spend hours to get this issue taken care of.
When using Drawing Tool to bring in the (attached) dwg surveyor plan which was drawn in feet the text comes in very large (I think 12 times the actual) which I do not have any control on. At point of placement on my Worksheet only the drawing scale (which is feet) is questioned by AC and not the text. The Resize tool can not exclude/include text either. Do not know how to make sense of it? Help.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

After spending some hours I found out where I went wrong. It is a BUG or Inconstancy or a Feature!! I do not know but here it is:

If the Story scale is set to the desired Scale of DWG and then the Worksheet/Independent Detail is also set to that same Scale then the Drawing Tool will produce the correct text size. To me this is not logical, Story Scale should not have an effect on Worksheet/Independent Detail & Drawing Tool.
Thanks,

Whenever a new viewpoint is created (eg. Sections, Elevations, Detail, Worksheet), the resultant scale of that viewpoint is based on the current floor plan scale. That's why it's a good idea to temporarily change your floor plan scale to 1:50 if you want to create a bunch of 1:50 sections, for example.

After the viewpoint is created, you are free of course to change it, either in the viewpoint settings from the project map, or the view settings from the view map. So you just need to make sure your Worksheet scale is set to the scale you want it to publish at.

That's how it works - at least on a PC!

Thank you for explaining it in such clear language, a master you are indeed. For Mac it works the same way, BUG or not we leave it for GS to decide.
