    Text Sizing

    greetings all, Ok here goes. When im in plan view working on drawing's and then i select "send to layout" tool, and i "chose fit to screen" and "current screen", thus sending my plan / CAD detail to layout. Once in layout I then use the grab handle on top right or top left to resize the plan to fit my space in layout. Here is my point. If i do this with 3, 4 or more plans/ CAD details the text sizes are all different even though they are all the same in plan. How do i fix this. My idea is to just send plan/CAD detail without text to layout page and then install all my text on the layout page so it's all the same size. Tips / ideas, please

    thank you Sean

    P.S. triple casement window, how do i resize the fixed middle glass and make to 2 outer casements smaller

    Send them at the same scale, then the text size will be the same provided you used the same point size in each detail (the point size increases as you resize the details once on layout).

    On the window question:

    You change the Moveable Size on the General tab of the Windows dbx.
