    Talking Scale for Design Center Annotations & Weld Callouts

    Using the Design Center for callouts for structural steel and weld symbols:

    How do you change the scaling of these wonderful tools in order the notation isn't five times larger than the object you've created. For example, on a 6' x 2' fabrication I attempted to add a 1/4" fillet weld symbol using the Design Center weld command found on the "Basic" tab. The resulting text and leader were nearly twice the size of the object. I've had the same problem attaching callouts to structural steel placed.
