Have plan for 2 story garage. 
 

Biggest need is getting roof plane to be constrained/limited to specific height and also a dormer roof.

can be more specific with other smaller aspects.

need, plan, elevations, and cross section.

thanks in advance.

It looks like possibly the "text a" text box is set to typical plan defaults and other to layout defaults.

Take a look at the margin settings for each.

I did. Left and right set to Zero.  

Does this additional info Help? I think it has something to do with scaling.   In plan view grid snaps and reference grid are set 1" and 12" respectively. They appear quite "small" on plan view and the same settings in default on layout view - though layout view on screen they appear 1" big. 

I understand my zoom can affect relatively how large they "look" but relative to drawing they are huge. Also when I place text box, default size is about 1/4 of drawing page. Not behavior I had in past.

I know I can do most annotating in plan view, but this is greatly impacting my ability to work and place text/blocks on page zero 0 of layout.

I’ve spent hours trying to solve this. Ugh       helps to enlarge my image.

on any layout I use/create when I place a rich text box, it’s huge and I am unable to adjust size size of box tight to the text. 
 

my attachment shows 2 similar text boxes. The small/tight is from pc, the other from Mac. The larger one show how I am unable to,get that text box tight to text.

I’ve compared as many settings as I can. I must be missing something.

Drawing size settings are same on both. Any thoughts?

thanks
