CAXA-Section view label

[LEE MENG CHE]

Hi 

How to make the section view label scale with paper scale?

Thank you.

CAXA places its automatically generated View Labels inside the Generated View (which is a type of "Block"). Regarding DWG Editors (like CAXA), any annotations that are placed inside "Standard Blocks" do not scale with the Paper Scale. This is why you're not seeing the View Label change like other annotations do when the Paper Scale changes. Only annotations placed inside special "Annotative Blocks" scale with Paper Scale, and the only "Annotative Blocks" within CAXA are the "Drawing Frames", "Title Blocks", and "Paratables".

For CAXA to create the View Label at the correct text height, the "Current Text Style" at the time of generating the View needs to be set to the desired height. One way to do this is to have a "Scaled Text Style" that you can simply toggle on (set as current) when required. Alternatively, you need to double-click on the Generated View to enter into "Block Editing Mode", so that you can then edit the text height of the View Label manually (while inside the Block).

Another option is simply to disable the View Label within the View Properties, and to drag-and-drop your own custom View Label into the drawing (which is what we do).

Adding to what was previously mentioned above, attached is a video demonstrating the influence of the "Current Text Style" on automatically generated Section View Labels, along with how to create a specific Text Style to achieve the desired text height in these Section View Labels (taking into account the View Scale and Paper Scale).
