naghshe Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'm trying to label the boundary of a property. It has straight lines on sides and curves on top and bottom. i managed to change the style of the text the way I want it (radius and length above, delta below). The problem i have is that I don't know how to change the height of the text. The option under "Text properties" in "Edit Label styles" is shaded ( I cannot change it). Thanks for help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 so this isn't actually MTEXT or DTEXT, but some sort of label is it? or is it a dimension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustysilo Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Sounds like you're using Land Desktop. If my memory serves me correctly the text size is controlled by the scale of the drawing. Check the scale in your drawing settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodz0321 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 this is all by memory... go to Format > Text......create a new text style that is the same as what you already have only larger. Then change that label to that text style... let me know if it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves me correctly the text size is controlled by the scale of the drawing. Check the scale in your drawing settings. You are right my friend, I played around with the drawing scale until I got the text size I needed. I thought text size is 1/10 of the drawing scale, but it looks like it's 1/40 of it. For example the scale 1"=100' gives me a text size of 2.5'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
