Introduction to Text Styles
Text style standards ensure that text entities will have a consistent appearance from drawing to
drawing. Standards Manager automatically adjusts text height when inserting text in
modelspace based on the current scale of the drawing. For example, if the standard contains a
text style with a height of 0.040” and the style is used to insert text into a drawing with a scale of
40 (i.e. 1” = 40’) Standards Manager will multiply the standard text height by the drawing scale
to give a new height of 1.6”. This would ensure that the text will appear at the proper height in
the drawing in modelspace. When inserting text in paperspace a scale of 1 should be used
regardless of the scale set in modelspace. If text is inserted with a height of 0.040” while in
paperspace the height will remain 0.040”.
