January 18, 2013 Selecting a Text Style will set the text size appropriate for a 1:1 plot. To place text for other plotting scales, users can automatically set the text size by setting the MicroStation Model Annotation Scale before placing the text. From the MicroStation pull-down menu, select File > Models or select the Models icon on the Primary Tools box, then select Edit Model Properties from the Models dialog box to access the dialog shown below. The list of available annotation scales is defined in the ODOT Standard file ODOT_scales.def which can be obtained from the ODOT CADD Standards Website. The MicroStation configuration variable MS_CUSTOMSCALEDEF is used to assign the scale definition file. ODOT CADD Engineering Standards 45
