Adjusting text height for a title block

Heime
This post was updated on .
I have made two layers: the first contains the Title Block, and the second has the object drawing
with actual measurements.

Because in the Drawing Preferences, the Dimensions use a General Scale of 5 and a Length Factor of 1,
I have drawn the Title Block 5 times larger than intended on the real A2 Paper Format.

I want to write some text - Title, Scale, Drawing Number, Sheet Number, Revision.

Would I need to scale the text by 5 as well?  What height should I use?  For the dimensions, I use
a text height of 2.5mm with the mentioned settings -  General Scale of 5,  Length Factor of 1.

I'd made the title block 1:1 scale and create a block out of it to reuse it with import or library browser.
I also like to make drawings 1:1, that eliminates 100% errors on scaling real life measurings to drawing units.

Then on insert, the block can be scaled and rotated as needed for the drawing.
For printing the title block is revese scaled with the drawing to fit on the paper.

There should already be some 1:1 title blocks available in the library browser. If they are missing, they are on GitHub:
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/tree/master/librecad/support/library/sheets

I think there are also some shared here or in the wiki, I have just not the time yet to search for them.
investing less than half an hour into Search function can save hours or days of waiting for a solution

The printing would then scale down the drawing with the title block?
