What should be my Text height if my scale in paper space is 1/4"- 1'-0"

Text placed in a layout should be real world size.  Most users will go with either 3/32" or 1/8".

Hello Lexville and John, I would add that on little paper sizes like Ansi "A" and "B" it would be 3/32".On the others sizes Ansi "C" , "D" and "E" it would be 1/8" for it to be still readable when printed on little paper sizes.

Thanks, so how many inches is 3/32? because I'm doing call out on my drawing on paper space.

You can divide 3 by 32 [that's all a fraction is] and find out....

Thanks, Where do you usually place the text and dimensions in model space or in layout?

There are pros and cons to each method.  It might be influenced by the type of drawings you are creating.  Our company has over 300 drawings from years past where everything was placed in model space.  We haven't bothered to change them.  Newer drawings have both text and dimensions placed in the layout.

(this is more for the OP)3/32" = .1 of an inch (vs 1/8" = .125 of an inch)To calculate what size it should be in MS, you would simply multiply your intended height by the scale factor.ie: 1/8" plotted text in a (1/4" = 1'-0") scaled viewport: .125 x48 = 6"Also a nice trick is to have your desired text in PS and use "chspace" and send it to MS and it calculates it for you.But maybe you know all this.
