In this video, we break down how AutoCAD text size really works in Model Space and Paper Space.
If your text:
• Looks correct in Paper Space but huge in Model Space
• Doesn’t match your dimensions
• Changes size unpredictably
• Or you’re not sure how TEXTSIZE works
This tutorial will clear it up.
We explain:
• Why text style height should be set to 0
• How TEXTSIZE controls model text height
• How paper height relates to scale factor
• The simple formula (paper height × scale factor)
• How to use the scaling table at cadavenue.com/dwgscale
• Why text behaves differently than dimensions
