Plotting, MSpace, PSpace, Text relationship?

Hi all,

Is there any special care that should be taken w.r.t TEXT used as labels in Model space, keeping in mind that it will be plotted to some scale (say 1:200) from paper space?
I mean, should there by any consideration of Height (and other if any) for TEXT elements placed in Model space when plotted in paper space?

Any advice / guidance much appreciated.

Thanks,

What is the desired text height in paperspace?
1/8" high text?

If it IS 1/8" text height in paperspace...say you have a viewport that's
presenting a 1/4"=1'-0" view of a building.
To find your text height, multiply the height desired in PS, by the
scale factor of the viewport (1/48xp).
In this case (.125 (or 1/8) * 48=6) your text in model space would be 6"
high.

for 1"=200', your viewport scale is assumed to be 2400 (.125 * 2400=300)
so your text is 300"


Get it?

 

Thanks Dave,

It's clear. Thanks for the information.
