Topic: How to convert from text format height to CAD text height?

[cannorth]

Hello,

  In an AutoCAD text box, you can place text formatting code as follows:

{\Fgothicb.ttf|c0;\H17.5;\C256;

  The H sets the height of the text.  Does anyone know the conversion factor between this H height and the regular AutoCAD height for a text entity?

Thanks,

Are you trying to compare the H value embedded in the text, 17.5 in your example, with the actual Height property of the text object?

Edit:
I went back and played with an MText object just to verify.  I always get a factor as a "\H" value, ex. {\H1.625x}. 
So the "\H" value * mtext.TextHeight = height of the text contained in the brackets.

Yes.

I don't think this is what you are asking for but for annotive text:

TextHeight = 1.125 / Database.Cannoscale.PaperUnits

Thanks MexicanCustard.  \H = mtext.Textheight.

Me think, You could to to create this mtext directly, get the text height,
then erase it, just a thought
