ReMark Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm just throwing this idea out there for others to comment on. Could the OP use QSELECT > Object type: Text > Properties: Height then select all the dimensions where the height of the text needs to be adjusted?

dbroada Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 without more information from the OP that's what I would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Perhaps match properties, select the one you want, then click on all the dims you wish to match up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 there is somethig missing here. If you dimension using the available tools, the height should remain constant for each style. I'm wondering if it has had dimensions added or lines, arrows and text. Until we know HOW it was dimensioned we don't know what to suggest.

Lee Mac Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Not sure if this is of any use, wrote it a while back: ;| .: Automatic Dimension Updater :. .: Function Syntax : DIMUPD :. .: by Lee McDonnell :.

NLClause Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I would create a new dim style that was what i wanted the font and text height to be. then change all the dims to that style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I would create a new dim style that was what i wanted the font and text height to be then change all the dims to that style. Nice idea - create the new dimstyle. If you sub that dimstyle name into my LISP, - it will automatically update all the dims. Although this may already be an option on '06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GliderRider Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You can also use the filter option to select all text, then in the properites box change all the filtered text to the same text height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GliderRider Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I have a related question. I can't change my text height at all. When I change it the new height shows in the properties box, but nothing has changed in the dwg. The Text style Standard, set to height 0. The dim style being used is Standard. I've double checked everything I can think of. Any ideas why this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLClause Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 have you messed with the scale under dim style by any chance. And when creating new you should try to make new but make it a copy of standard. just so you always have some thing to go back to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GliderRider Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 OK, got my problem solved, thanks anyway. Made a new dim style, etc. etc. Shouldn't have had to do it, and it doesn't fit with the client standards (different dim style name).

Lee Mac Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The Text style Standard, set to height 0 I didn't think an input of text height "0" was a valid input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merdrignac Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I didn't think an input of text height "0" was a valid input? If '0' is set in text style, the text height set in dimension style over-rides, and is constant and constantly scaled. If greater than '0' set in text style then that size over-rides. Can lead to some strange anomalies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
