I am not getting a lot of responses in the LT forum, so I'll try this one.
If I want to add some text to a dimension line, the text editor will zoom the text so it overwhelms everything else on the screen. I have to zoom out and when I hit ok I am zoomed out from my original view.
For example: I am working on a plan view with a scale of 1:32. If I am zoomed in so I can read the text on the screen and try to edit a line of dimension text, the entire screen is filled with the text or a portion of. If I change the annoscale to 1:1, then I am able to edit the text without zooming out. So it is zooming the text in proportion to the annotative scale. I do not want to keep switching the annoscale everytime I edit a line of dimension text.
This will not happen to Multileader text, Mtext or Dtext. It only happens with dimension text.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
It has been suggested that I use the prefix and/or suffix in properties, but for longer lines I prefer to just add the lines using ddedit. Besides, I should be able to edit text with one pick, not grip, go to properties, scroll to prefix/suffix, scroll to what I want to edit and go back to the screen.
This has been happening ever since we installed SP1 to LT2008. It didn't happen prior to that.
