Ok here's my issue I have my border.dgn file being ref in 1:1 and I have a model space for my typical section drawn 1:1like it should be but I change the model space scale for the Typical section to 1/8" = 1'-0" and I ref that section down into the border at that 1/8" = 1'-0" scale, that size looks good but the auto dimensioning and any other text that I place in the 1/8" = 1'-0" is huge when Annotation is set to on, if I shut it off it is ok but I don't want that, I've done this a million times before and never ran into this issue, again the Section size looks good when ref into border at 1/8" = 1'-0" but text size is too big
Is the "Use Annotation Scale" setting of your reference ON or OFF?

Hi Noel,
If I follow correctly, your model has annotation scale 1/8" = 1'-0" & you are referencing it into border which has annotation scale at 1:1 scale then if "Use Annotation Scale" in reference is on, annotations will be scaled as per model's annotation scale. This is expected.
Could you share a dgn for this. I will investigate whats happening with this dgn.
Thanks

What is your email address so I can share it with you?
Try turning the "Use Annotation Scale" setting of that reference file to OFF and see if that helps your situation.
That setting applies the active model's annotation scale to the annotative objects in the reference file. Sometimes that's preferable, but sometimes it isn't. if my annotations in the reference are already the "right size", I do not need my active file trying to apply extra scaling on top of what I already have, so I turn that setting OFF.
