    G'day, David from Australia.

    Once you increase the scale of your drawing, then everything increases. Including text and dimensions.

    Big problem. One that cannot be sorted out easily.

    The only thing I could suggest is to draw in model space at 1 to 1, never change that. Then when you have finished your drawing, decide what scale to plot at.

    That is where paper space comes into play.

    Go and look up all you can find out all about paper space.

    Strix, Tiger, et all, big problem here. Help.

    Not really sure what you are asking, but DIMLFAC may be what you need, if part of your drawing is scaled differently from the rest.
