Remember, that if you set the Model space scale to 1:1 and enter annotative text, it will only show up in paper space if your viewport scale is also set to 1:1. You can of course associate (I call it "map") other scales to that particular text object. Those objects will also display in both Model space and in paper space viewports when the associated scales are set.

In only sounds confusing until it sinks in.

When you create your annotative text style you need to set the paper space text height size to 0.00. It sounds strange, but this is what works. Be sure also to check the Annotative box in the definition.

Before you enter any text or mtext use the TEXTSIZE command to set the text height. This value will stay for all future text entries until you change it to something else with the TEXTSIZE command again.

Hello,

I am starting from scratch in AutoCAD 2013 and am trying to set up my text styles. I have set the annotative scale to show 1/4" on paper space, and it is 1:1. The text shows up so small it is unreadable. Can someone help me figure out why this is?

Thank you.
