AutoCad Mechanical 2009 - how to set text size for Dimension


Proctor

Recommended Posts

Hello: I recently received a newer version of autocad 09 and cannot

find how to set the text size for a Dimension.

 

I've been looking in help, but still am unable to figure it out.

 

Thanks,

Proctor

On the Ribbon click on the Annotate tab. Then on the Dimension panel look in the upper right hand corner. Click on the icon for Dimension Style. When the Dimension Style Manager dialog box appears click on the Modify button (to the right), then click on the Text tab. On the Text tab look for words Text height. Enter your value. Click the OK button at the bottom of the dialog box. Got it?

Remark: thanks for your reply. Forgive me .... I do see the Annotate off the menu bar, but your said "on the ribbon click" which I think you might have mean right click? at any rate, if i right click it, i only see "display menu bar"

 

perhaps there's another annotate tab?

 

thanks for helping.

Proctor: I need some enlightenment. The main heading of your thread refers to Mechanical 2009. Your profile mentions straight AC 2006. Which one are we using here?

I'm running straight AC 2009 in a 2D workspace. My Ribbon has the following tabs (black background with white letters) from left to right: Home, Blocks & References, Annotate...etc. If I click on the Annotate tab my panels read, from left to right: Text, Dimensions, Multileaders, etc.

Sorry for the confusion.
