text is scaled by a factor of 120

Question

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?

It seems like you are using the Bentley scales.def file which is set to "one inch= X feet". You will need to modify the scales.def file to get proportional scaling. The file is found here by default: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Imperial\Scales. I would comment out (#) the Bentley units and add the following unit definitions: 
 #Direct scale names 1:1 (Full Size); 1:1; 2,3 # 1:1 (Full Size) 2:1; 2:1; 2,3 # 1:2 3:1; 3:1; 2,3 # 1:3 4:1; 4:1; 2,3 # 1:4 5:1; 5:1; 2,3 # 1:5 10:1; 10:1; 2,3 # 1:10 20:1; 20:1; 2,3 # 1:20 30:1; 30:1; 2,3 # 1:30 40:1; 40:1; 2,3 # 1:40 50:1; 50:1; 2,3 # 1:50 60:1; 60:1; 2,3 # 1:60 100:1; 100:1; 2,3 # 1:100 200:1; 200:1; 2,3 # 1:200 400:1; 400:1; 2,3 # 1:400 500:1; 500:1; 2,3 # 1:500 1000:1; 1000:1; 2,3 # 1:1000 2640:1; 2640:1; 2,3 # 1:2640 (1/2 Mile) 5280:1; 5280:1; 2,3 # 1:5280 (1 Mile) 
 You may have to modify and/ or add additional entries according to your needs, but I think you will get there. I had to do the same for our seed working units (via client requirements) are in units similar to yours.
