Hello all and thank you in advance for any possible help.

I've created a revision schedule in my title block. When adding a revision, everything lines up until I zoom in to it. The text drops down about a half inch. Zoom back out and it's back to normal. When I print though, the text shows dropped down again.

The headers do not drop down because they are "dumb text" that I placed on the sheet. (simply unchecked the "show header" box in the schedule editor) I tried both ways though and getting the same results.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have:

18.0.0.42020170223_1515(x64)

My thoughts...many varied but pragmatic - I hope.

- Try changing font type to more standard version like Arial.- Open sheet family and select text and check it is justified correctly i.e. To the left. To the centre.- Open sheet family and select text and check its text box when selected sits within the space defined by your lines.- Try changing the name of the text type eg 2.5mm Arial to 2.5mm Arial - 1. Sometimes when families are loaded into models, if they have the same text type name as ones in the model, the model text types can over-ride them.- There was a change in how text is fundementally coded within Revit between Revit 2016 and 2017 which caused most text to change in size. Much to the annoyance of us BIM Information Managers. Checking the text in the family editor and adjusting fixed it.

- It could be a graphics issue. So check your revit version is up to date. Check your GPU is Autodesk approved. Check if you have a 4K display as these can cause issued too. Check printer drivers are up to date.

Apologies for the late response on this. I scrubbed all text types and loaded in my standards from the projects that the sheets would be entered into. Not sure which ones I had wrong, since I just basically started from scratch, but it seemed to correct my issue.

Thank you for your expertise!
