Dimension text editor, text appears tiny

[Clarence Worley]

Just upgraded from 2007 to 2008.

Just a minor query. When I edit my dimensions the text editor chooses the dim text height before multiplying by the dimscale, so the text appears tiny. Is there a setting for this. I'm pretty sure I changed a setting in 2007 for this but I just cant remember what it is.

Hi

If I am understanding your question, take a look at system variable MTextEd

If I have not understood correctly, please supply further details.

Have a good one, Mike

I have my mtexted set to internal.

When I edit text it's fine, it edits the text in place, which is what I'm after.
When I edit dimensions, it still edits the text in place but it's very small, I have to zoom in to see it. My dimensions are set are up at 1:1 with a dimscale equal to my drawing scale. It seems that when I edit the dimtext it shows the text as 2mm rather than 2mm x dimscale (which is how it is viewed in the model).

Clear as mud eh!

I did have everything set up the same in 2007 and it worked fine, perhaps it's a migration problem.

Hi

My bad... I meant to say look at system variable MTextFixed

Text sizes when editing in AutoCAD 2006, have to zoom in

Controlling the size of the MText window

MText editor displays text too small, have to zoom in

Have a good one, Mike

The mtextfixed does work when set to 2 (mtexted set to internal) but although it scales the text up it also rotates it horizontally. It does not keep text in place <Hmmmmm smilie> I'm sure there is a variable somewhere but I cant remember where it is, thats the problem when you only use it once a year.

It wouldn't be this bug by any chance?

That looks like it oh well I'll just keep on zooming

Can you do the editing in the properties tool bar?
