Questions about the drawing scale and the font and annotations in the actual dimensions? Could someone with experience give me some advice?

When drawing now, there are two scenarios. In the first scenario, the drawing is created at its actual size, with the frame dimensions enlarged; when printing, it is reduced to a certain scale. In the second scenario, the drawing is done within a standard frame, with the actual sizes reduced by a certain factor. In both cases, when adding annotations or editing text, does the text also need to be enlarged or reduced by a corresponding scale?
Yes. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-412411-1-1.html
Make the changes in the annotation style settings; enlarging or shrinking should be done in the opposite direction to that of the image. The font size of the text and that in the title bar should be the same. The title bar should be designed as a standard element, created as a single block. When drawing, use the actual dimensions, and then insert the title bar. It’s more convenient to use scaling factors for this purpose
I personally advocate drawing in actual scale; in fact, we work in model space when creating drawings, while plotting should be done in paper space. CAD provides various standard drawing frames, and after drawing the graphics in model space, by switching to paper space at the time of plotting, the inserted drawing frame will be at a 1:1 scale. Regarding the font height, under normal circumstances, if it is at a 1:1 scale, the font height is usually between 3.5 and 4 mm. Therefore, for other scaling factors, this value can be used as a base and multiplied accordingly. For example, in a 1:100 ratio, it should be between 350-400mm. I hope this helps you. Additionally, I personally feel that it would be even more convenient to use it with software designed for Tenshin architecture.
After drawing, use the format brush to apply the font size from the title bar
It is essential to draw in the original scale, as one advantage of this is that the dimensions indicated are the actual ones. When producing the final drawing, simply set the scaling factor – there’s no need for any scaling
Yes, it has nothing to do with the print size
I agree with the view from the third floor; you should still draw it in a 1:1 scale, but don’t mark the dimensions yet. If you do mark them, the dimension lines will be scaled accordingly, which will affect the printing result!
The drawing should be made to actual sizes; just select the printing range when printing
