Forum Post: RE: Annotation and Text Size - Off By Factor of 12

The Annotation Scale, Scale factor (multiplier) is derived from an external file called Scales.def. It is typically delivered from Bentley and found under the ".....\MicroStation\Workspace\System\data" but it can also be pointed to by using a variable "MS_CUSTOMSCALESDEF". See if this is set to a specific location or filename first. The normal setting for i.e. one eighth inch equals one foot is 96:1 (96 eights of an inch equals one foot). I have seen the file setup where it states 8:1 which I would consider wrong, but it depends on the way one thinks. Check the Scales.def file It is an ASCII (.txt) file that you can open with Notepad and see the factor/ratio/multiplier.
