Hypenation not working in small text size

I'm working on large walls for exhibition designs and have placed the walls on a scale of 1:10. Therefore, my texts are also on a scale of 1:10 (2,2pt), the problem here is that the hyphenation does not work. As soon as I scale the texts to 1:1 it works, but not at the reduced scale. Here are my hyphenation settings. Does anyone know the problem and how to solve it?

Boris,

You can work in Large Canvas and scale everything up to the final 1:1 scale, see here,

Or you can create the text at 1:1 scale and then scale down as an effect (Effect>Distort & Transform>Transform, scaling to 10% both directions for uniform).

You can Bookmark an empty search like the one above and search all sorts of things,

Thanks for the fast reply! If there is no real solution to the actual problem, I will try to work on a large canvas in the hope of not encountering any limitations later. Thanks again!

You are welcome, Boris.

There is no real limitation with the large canvas. You can see it as everything just being stretched tenfold.

Remember to have raster effects and other raster elements at the desired final resolution, instead of ten times higher, which is needed when you work at 1:10 scale.

As I said, you can work with the text parts at ten times the size, then use the effect to scale down.
