Section tool marker scale

[Anonymous]

I think I am missing something.

When I have a section marker on the site plan is is the right size at 70 pt as printed at 1/8" scale.

But when I print the floor plans at 1/4" scale the section marker is obviously twice as big.

I need them to be the same size regardless of the scale of the plan on the published sheet.

Great tip....Chazz!

I find that ever since my 500th post and the conferring upon me the new title of Veteran Member, these things just come to me.

🙂 Let that be an incentive to all! 😉

What's the name of the marker you're using? One of the standard section marker objects?

The standard markers are scale independent, like text, and will be the same size on output regardless of the drawing scale. Is it possible that you have used drawing settings or dragging to 'magnify' the placed drawing? (Check settings for each to see if Magnification is 100% as it should be, and the scales read out correctly.)

Karl, are there any scale sensitive section markers?

(after reading Karl's post....) The problem with the find-and-select method is that it can shift the position of the text. Reimporting will get it spot on.

True. Last dwg I did this too worked, because the text anchors happened to be in the right spot. Not to be expected though.

Great tip for correcting the text if other elements have been altered, Chazz!

Thanks,

could you not find and select the text, change the anchor to be bottom left/ top right or center (whatever is the correct position for your purposes) (you may need to do this twice: change it into something you don't want first, click ok, then change it again to where you need it to be, click ok, to ensure all text anchors are where they should be), then change the size of the text to be want you need it to be... I know it's a three step operation (well 4 if you count the find and select clicks ) but it is guaranteed to work and does not need re-importation of the dwg which personally i find a draaag
