DHerb2014 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Want to reach out to you regarding a conflict I'm having with text shown in both Plan and Layout files. I'm collaborating with another designer, and when opening up an existing plan file, the text is sometimes jammed together and does not automatically resize itself. Attaching an image of what I'm encountering. I went to Preferences and Default settings and didn't find anything to change this around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHerb2014 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 We're both using the same font (Bahnschrift Light Condensed), and just checked all of the setting in Default. Reopened the Layout file and it's still crowding the characters together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 open the text string and close and that should fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHerb2014 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Perry, thanks for your suggestion. What is the cause for this, as this happens many times when sharing files with a colleague? Having to manually open and stretch the text boxes is time consuming, and wondering how to prevent this from occurring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I think different resolutions between machines is the problem, this problem has been around forever and Chief is working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I work on both a Macbook Pro and a Windows desktop and run into this anytime I switch machines. I just do what Perry says and it fixes it. Kind of a pain in the butt, I just figured it was a operating system hiccup. You learn something new everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHerb2014 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Thanks for your comment as well Rosco. I'm running both platforms. Perry's correct. My colleague uses a very small display setting on his 34" monitor. My eyes aren't as young anymore and I need to use a larger screen display for my 34" Dell monitor (3440 x 1440 and 150% text size) . Learned something new today as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
