Good morning,

Same behavioir here.
Just select all annotations (selection filter) and set the model space scale of the text to 0.001.
This solves the problem on my side at least.

i have no idea where this diverget text setting comes from
but yeah!
Thanks. That does it for me.
Have a nice weekend =)

I have this problem too, whether when importing or referencing when the project is in meters but everything is correct in millimeters. Unfortunately, Rhino doesn’t seem to be able to adjust the text.

Millimeters: (correct text size)

Meters: (incorrect text size)
