Layout, Detail, Dimensions scaling issue

I created a layout and when I set a detail view with dimensions, the dimensions scaling grows very large in relation to the model.

How do I get the dimensions scaled as with the original model? (Scrapes attached)\

Thank you!

Hi @blcavender,
There is an fast fix here, and there is a smarter one.

First, fast fix, is to uncheck “Enable Layout Space Scaling.”

The second more powerful fix, is to adjust your Annotation styles to use a Font and other values that reflect “1=1” layout space sizes. For example, if you want text and arrow sizes to be .125 inches, then in the use those values. You will probably find that the original annotation style defaults will get you close than the one that you are using.

You can assign the existing dimension to the new style that looks more appropriate in the Layout.
Layout scaling will keep all the text and dimensions the same size regardless of whether they are in a detail, in a details with a different scale or on the layout. This is the concept behind Layout Space Scaling.

If you continue to have issue, please attach a file or email it to tech@mcneel.com and reference this Forum thread.
