Hi.. For the Ref des text sizes in the corresponding layout has been get changed to some size to previewed. Then after ti took to print the SST layer in the A size sheet, that time plot preview of the ref des text sizes are too large. Size i kept height: 1.00MM, Width :1.00MM, Photo Width is 0.12MM, Spacing :0.1MM Line Spacing:0.1MM. When i am look at layout it is very clear, but i tried to see plot preview, that time text become too bigger and thicker. So it's looking uneasily. So what are the sizes could been set for ref des to see clearly, when i took the print the files??? So it's urgent. any help for this problem. Thanks & Regards Dhamodharan

     Looks like the Photo width is too thick. Eitehr create a new text size and set the photo width to a smaller value or change the Text size photo width. Look at Setup - Design Parameters - Text tab and click on Setup Text sizes to adjust them.

     Hover over the text in question and use right click - show element. You'll see a report of the text details. Look for the Text Block Number and make sure you adjust the Photo Width size only for that Text Block Number.
