    Question Station Labels Scale

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi,

    I'm working with Civil 3D 2008, and I used to work with Land Desktop 2004 before. I got these Civil elements(Station Labels texts) that change size according to the scale of my viewport in order to have them always a size of 2.5mm. Now I got this presentation plan that I would like to have those Civil elements not scaled or actually have them smaller. The VP Scale is 1:1000 and I would like to have the text at half of the height it is right now, as if it was scaled for a 1:500 VP. Does anybody have any idea how to manage these annotation scale issues?

    Thank You
    Hardney

    If you know the name of the text style that these labels are using. you can then QSELECT all the text / mtext to grab all the labels. then open the Properties Palette, and change the 'paper text height'

    Try making a new Label Style with a text height that you want to display and assign it to the Alignment. Toolspace > Settings > Alignment > Label Styles ... rt-clk on Major Station and select New (or rt-clk on an existing style and select copy). You can edit the text height in the Layout tab.

    Actually, i'm currently in a presentation file and the «texts» that I want to change are xrefed and those are not text or mtext but are Civil Objects identified as «Alignment Station Label Group». That is why those change with scale of the VP.

    Thanks for your time though
