    Dimensions changing size?

    Okay...

    I'm working on this drawing, and sending plans to layout...when i look at the drawing in plan mode, it looks fine...then i send the 2nd floor to layout, and the dimensions are tiny, and i cant get them to expand...The line weights are ok, and my first floor and foundation plans sent fine...normal dimensions. the dimension sizes are fine in plan mode. I'm sending at 1/4" scale...line scaling is the same as all the other dwgs...

    why is CA shrinking my dimensions in layout on my 2nd floor only????!??!?!?

    i cant seem to get through a single plan in X1.4 without problems...I've not seen this happen in any other version...


    Anybody have any ideas? Has this happened to anyone? I've attached an image of the plan in plan mode, and the plan on my layout...

    After deleting the layout page, and sending the drawing to a different page...it fixed itself...

    but then...it went bad again...

    i deleted 4 or 5 layout pages in the process but now it seems to be working. Nothing changed between pages, or send-to-layout procedures...

    I cant think of why it did that.

    Sounds like it has to do with the Number Height in the Layout Box Specification.
    This setting changes the height of the dimension text in layout.
