When scaling a text box the bounding box for the text does not scale uniformly causing the text contained in the box to change shape. A practical application of this is when text is in a title block and the sheet is used in an environment other than 1:1, scaling the title sheet to multiple scales makes it necessary to go into each title and adjust the width to the scaled text boxes to fit within the title block.
The attached screenshot shows the results of scaling a text box by 50%
Hi Pascal, Thanks for the reply. I applied the latest update this morning - Version 7 (7.4.21078.01002, 2021-03-19). Should it be fixed in that update?
I Installed the update with this fix. It is improved but the width is not scaling. Is there a logic to this? It seems like in the fix the text box width doesn’t scale but the text size does making the text box taller but not wider. In the attached example the text box on the left is scaled 2X.
you can get the fixed (7.5) version by changing the ‘Update frequency’ in Options > Updates and Statistics page to ‘Service release candidate’
On mac the option is in Preference > General.
I installed 7.5 before testing this today. I have Version 7 (7.5.21082.11002, 2021-03-23). I just checked it again with the same results I described earlier today.
