Topic: Dimension Text Height

[ronjonp]

Is there a dimension variable that controls the height of dimension for viewports of varying scales....or do you have to dimension the objects in paperspace to maintain a standard height?

Thanks,

Ron

The only way I know how to do this is, I have (in the past) used different dim styles for each scale.  So if I had three different scaled viewports in one drawing (dimensioning in Model space) I would just have three dim styles.  All I would change would be the dim scale of each style, so that when they were plotted they would all look the same.

In 2006 at least, if dimscale is set to 0 all dimesions are scaled to the viewport

I have had to do dim->update and pick the dims thru the VP to get them to scale though.
