" Maybe this will help. I created a drafting view at 3"=1'-0" scale and placed a 3/32" text note on the the view. I then dimensioned the height of the note. Next I placed that view on a sheet and placed another dimension on the sheet view. Notice the difference in the dimensions. Check out the attached image. " what jamesgrimes posted is exactly how it is suppose work 4 * 3/32" = 3/8"

ok thanks. I was drawing a volute yesterday and couldn't fit 3/32" text into the eye (a 2" square). I thought "I have 4 square inches here so why can't I fit 3/32" text into it? I've drawn hundreds of these on paper and always noted them (and most other things) with 3/32" text and it fits without a problem. I think I understand now what is going on, so I'll just have to work around it. thanks again

see image. this text is way too big for this scale and I know it's an "annotation" but it's still way too big. it would be nice if room tags would automatically scale bigger or smaller when scales are switched but they just stay the same.

I really don't understand why you continue with this. REVIT is great because the annotations do adjust with the view scale and they will always print at what you set them at. That is the kind of control most users, including myself, wants. If you want a view with text or annotations at a different size, then use ones set up for that view. REVIT makes this very, very easy. Say you have room tags at one size in a 1/4" view and you want smaller ones in another view at 1/8". Just copy with detailing the one view, window the view, filter it for the room tags and change them all at once to the other size. Your done! If you have text or dimensions or whatever that you also want to do this to, then do the same thing. Most of us plan our drawings so that we take advantage of this ability. REVIT is really a very useful program but those that don't want to learn to use it should probably stay with cad.

I have never used a cad. When duplicating with detailing and then changing tags, they change in every view, not just the duplicated one. Like I said. Draw (with a pencil) a detail at a scale of 3" = 1'-0". Now, what SIZE text are you going to annotate it with? 3/32" of course, why, because that's the standard. Not 3/32" text scaled to a scale of 3" = 1'0". 3/32" text that is 3/32".

poplivion says ... "When duplicating with detailing and then changing tags, they change in every view, not just the duplicated one." No, that's not right. If you change an item in a dependent view or a parent view that has a dependent, both views will change. But independent views are just that ... independent. Chage RoomTag 1 in one view to RoomTag2 and the view with RoomTag1 will still have RoomTag1 in it. Be careful. If you use the select all instances... you do just that. You select all instances in the project. Great tool but you have to recognize what it does. It is a project wide selection - not view specific. And you are very right. When I draw a view at 3", I will use 3/32" text and when I draw it at 1/4", I will still use 3/32" text BUT I will compose my view accordingly. REVIT can't perform that magic for you. So when you chage the tags/text/dimension out in a duplicated view, you are still responsible for composing/adjusting where that annotation item is - just like you would if you created the view from scratch.
