dshall Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 How to control note schedule text size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi Scott, Try opening the Note Schedule Specification dbx>General panel>Object Preview Options>check Scale Images and uncheck Use Plan View Scale. Select the Note Schedule and drag the width of the 2D Symbol column (the one that contains the labels) to change the label size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG1949 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I think the "symbol" text may be controlled by the note itself. Open the note, change "Character Height". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 The 1/8" roof plan is on left, the 1/4" floor plan is on right, if I click on the 1/8" roof plan, text gets big, if I activate 1/4" floor plan, the text gets small. In layout it looks correct........ if I open and close the 1/4" plan last. In layout it looks incorrect........ if I open and close the 1/8" plan last. IOW, the last view closed is the one that effects the size of text. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Scott, I don't know if this will work, but try putting the note schedule in a CAD Detail. That way you should be able to control the scale independently from the plan. You will have to send the schedule to Layout separately from the plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I agree with Joe, all my note schedules and in fact all my schedules are in a cad detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Thanks guys, it is in a CAD detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyt12 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I check "use plan scale" and use a separate layerset/Text Style to control the note size independent of what the plan/elevation shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Perry, Can you elaborate a little more on how you organize your note schedules? I'm curious because I use a lot of your techniques and I have been struggling with how to not only organize them but how to save all the text (notes). Not sure If I should be saving the notes in my macros or as a schedule somehow.... It just seems awkward to me. If you can, enlighten me a little Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemyjim Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I put all my notes and schedules on a separate cad detail file that can be accessed through the project browser. That way I can send each to the layout in my preferred scale. I also save this with each plan so my schedule defaults remain the same. Something like this... I'd love to hear if anyone has a better method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the note number gets deleted or moved you lose the text with it and its gone forever. You either have to retype the information or have it saved somewhere so you can cut and paste it. I was thinking of using user defined macros to save the note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemyjim Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That should work. But if it is note or notes that you use often, they could be saved in a separate plan file and cut and copied to your current one. Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I may be misunderstanding the question, but you can simply save the note directly to your library. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Joe sorry buddy, late to the party. I really don't use the save to the lib. tool for notes. what I do is have my notes already to go in my template plan , its a lot easier to delete some then to create them each time. Mostm of my plan notes are not changed much but framing notes are creates each time and the schedule is already set up and ready to go, already sent to the template layout. As you may know I have everything already sent to the layout, floors, foundation, sections ,elevations , notes, site plan and lot calc's. details etc.. Deleting is much faster than creating and as I change things it's automatic 1 plan template and 1 layout template. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as you. I agree! Deleting is more fun than typing or searching!!! The added step I'm taking is saving each note to the Library just in case I delete a note and I want to go back and recall it. Thank You Perry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 I do both. In template plan and in library as a back-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
