draftsight__dimensions always the same size

Post by rikduk »

Hi,
i am wondering if anyone has a trick to have the text dimension size to be always 1/4 inch high, no matter the scale
of the drawing. On draftsight.

When i want to print sheet dimensions for bending, and set up my dimensions at 1" high, on a 2inch long part, the dimension will appear huge,
but if i use the same setting on a piece 10 feet long, i wont be able to read it on the paper.

i know, i can all change that manually each time, but i was wondering if there was a faster way.

Thanks

Richard

Not sure with Draftsight, but use help and look up Associative dimensioning.
