JerryG Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I recently upgraded from LDD 2009 to Civil 3d 2014. My main client uses LT 2014. Most things he can read just fine with except Profile and Contour text. They always appear to small for him in the viewports while they look perfect in Civil 3d. I normally just save the drawing without doing any export etc. At first I thought that if I set the Annotation scale in MS to what the Viewport scale is that it would show the text the correct height. However he is still having the same issue regardless what the MS scale is set to on my end. Locking the VP also has no affect with how he seas the text height in LT. He is willing to upgrade to Regular Autocad however I am not sure he wont have the same problem as LT? Any suggestions as to what I might try? Is there possibly something simple he can do in LT? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirltech Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Exporting your drawing (rather than doing a save as) to AutoCAD doesn't resolve this? I use Civil3D 2012 and doing an export usually works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryG Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Since we both had 2014 versions Ive been just saving (no "Save as") and he is able to open them just fine. (with above mentioned problem) Ill do an actual "Export" to 2013 and see what that gives us. Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 It should work with just "Save" in Civil 3D 2014 if your client has the AutoCAD Civil 2014 Object Enabler, that will allow them to be remain useful in Civil 3D in the future. If you do not need any of Civil 3D information to be retained, Export may be a better option, the command is -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD or AECTOACAD, I believe.

JerryG Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Nice! Thanks guys. I ended up just exporting to 2010 and it worked for him perfectly. He does not need the connectivity although I think it would be wise for him to install the OE for LT. He likes to um well.............. Explode everything:o so if I get it back for any changes it makes it somewhat frustrating. Thanks for the Link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirltech Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 There is a PM here that does that. We have moved over to Civil3D 2012 from LDD '09 and if he can't get the labels to "look right", he will just explode them making them almost useless and requiring more tech time for edits.
