Hey

Ive set up my dimension text to how I like it but the text always defaults to a width factor of 0.8 (ie 80%)

I prefer the text to be a width factor of 1 (ie 100%) but cant find the setting within the Dimension Style menu to set this as a default. Can anyone shine any light on how to set this? I dont want to have to go into each dimension text and edit it everytime I draw a dimension.

Using AutoCAD 2008.

Thanks, Peter

This just changes the height, not the width factor.

:thumbsup:

if you have a template that you use - don't forget to set it in there so that it's always set...just a heads up. :)
