    I am currently using AutoCAD 2011 and have an issue and looking for assistance. when I create a template, and start demensioning, the font size are always set to the default (.2) is there a setting to choose to make the font size relative to the size of dwg so that I do not have to increase the size of the fonts each time I do a dimension or any text.? thanks
