Re- Determining appropriate text height in model space

Re- Determining appropriate text height in model space

Re- Determining appropriate text height in model space

(OP)
Fellows,

I appreciate the inputs you have made so far on this issue. I have gathered quite a lot. However, the explanation so far has been mostly based on printing done in 'model space'
The following are for clarifications:

DRAWING
1.After creating the geometry in model space, 1:1, how do I size the text to match with the 1:1 drawing, so that I don't under or over size.Is there a formular wrt the drawing?

PRINTING
2.How do I adjust the text height so that the standard is still maintained regardless of what paper size (A0-A4)I'm making the final print out in.

Note: I draw in model space and print in paper space.

Thanks.
Sammysparkle!

RE: Re- Determining appropriate text height in model space

You may want to try using the SPACETRANS command.  It is the last icon on the text toolbar.  SPACETRANS allows you to convert sizes of text based on the sizes they are in paper or model space.  While in paperspace, select the MTEXT icon, begin placing the bounding box.  Before you finish the box, type H at the command line.  Before you type in a height, click on the spacetrans icon, then input the size of the text as it would be if it were in model space.  Spacetrans will automatically make the conversion.

Grrrr!  Did you try any of the "formular's" that were given?
