trying to set up ORD. My text styles are being scaled by a factor of 120. I imported my text styles from SS3 and I am using seed files from local DOT. Any ideas why me text is now being scaled up by 120?
Dalek:
It would seem that your working units are not the same as Bentley's seed files. As well, it also appears that you may have a feet to inches scaling issue; that you have your styles scaled by 120 gives me that impression. The "easiest" manner in which to accomplish the task is to modify the seed files which the program is referencing to the working units your DOT requires. I am not sure as to whether or not SS3 used Text Favorites (I moved directly from SS2 to Openroads), If it did not, the issue may be within that file (default: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Imperial\Dgnlib\Feature Definitions\Text Favorites_Text Styles_Dimension Styles Imperial.dgnlib).
Best of luck... these have been trying times for many of us, LOL...

Check the three .def files - scales, units and sheetsizes. These are often customized by a DOT to meet its needs that are different from the delivered versions. Simply using a seed file is not always enough to get all needed settings.
