    Default Change Attribute Text Height When Tied To Parameters

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    For starters, I am using AutoCAD 2013.

    I am having trouble with changing the text height of attributes in a block. I know that I can normally use BATTMAN and ATTSYNC to change the text height, but those are not working in my case.

    I am using a point parameter and STRETCH action to enable my attributes to be moved, while the main object stays in place. When the attributes are not tied to the point parameter and I use BATTMAN in the block editor, the block will insert with any changes to attribute text height. When they are tied to the parameter and I use BATTMAN in the block editor, the block will insert with the attributes at the text height that they were created at. The only way I can change the text height is to use BATTMAN in model space.

    I can work with this, but it would be easier to use BATTMAN in the block editor since my attributes are aligned vertically and changing the text size ruins the spacing between them. It would be much easier to both change the text size and respace in the block editor. Does anyone have any suggestions or fixes?

    Can you change the text height in properties? Works in AutoCAD 2011.

    Worked like a charm. Thanks. I hardly ever use properties for this kind of thing. I can't believe I forgot about it.
