Choosing a Font/Marker Scale
How did the snake get across the ocean? He used a scale-boat!
Not sure what scale to choose? This article will give you some good rule of thumb choices for different sizes of location plans.
The system will revert sign markers to dots when it doesn't have enough room to display them normally without overlapping information. When on the web or in the app, we can see the markers simply by zooming in further or turning off the visibility for some signs. In exports however we have to decrease the font and marker scale which can be done in the export settings.
| Page Size | Page Name | Font/Marker Scale | Locations with 500+ Signs | Real Marker Size after Export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.5” x 11” | Letter | 1 | 0.75 | 0.05" |
| 11” x 17” | Tabloid | 2 | 1.5 | 0.1" |
| 24” x 36” | Architectural D | 3 - 4 | 2 | 0.15” - 0.2" |
| 36” x 48” | Architectural E | 4 - 6 | 4 | 0.2” - 0.3" |
Note that you can also use decimals like 1.5 if you'd prefer something in between!
