Trace-reference layout on layout, text size issue

This is what I am getting on AC25 4013 on MacOS Monterey, when I trace-reference some other layout: the texts in the traced master, and traced drawing including labels, appear huge (most likely in a paper size-model size tracing screwup, but I haven't checked).

I think I have seen this recently on AC24 too but I am not positive.

Try updating to the latest build of AC 25 (5005 I think). It fixes many issues.

@Ignacio Azpiazu Is the trace reference possibly (a DWG) imported at the wrong scale e.g. you imported at 1:1 but the trace view is displaying at 1:100?

The trace view should ideally be linked from the View Map rather than Project Map, that way you can check what will be displayed including text sizes.

It is a layout traced from a layout. 

I've read terrible stories about the latest build. I'll wait until next build.

@Ignacio Azpiazu I'm still on Big Sur but I have AC25 5005 running and I'm not seeing Layout on Layout scaling problems. It may be Monterey related (or 4013). There seems to be a lot of bugs blamed on the macOS version just now. Have you reported it to your local support?

Man, if you knew my local Support. Trust me that I know what I am doing.
