1. to individually set a new textheight: in drawing, right click on the "entity" (could be anything, dimension, note..) and choose properties, then go to text style and modify the text height:
2. to set the text height to the entire drawing : right somewhere on an open space in your drawing, then properties/ drawing_options, then drawing text height
For symbols, added with insert/ drawing symbols: right click on it, text style, and change height, or right click / properties / height Edited by: vlad1979
tg, you're tip it's OK, but it's slightly different. I didn't think of that, but now that you mentioned....pro-e doesn't have {} in notes.
If you want to modify a single word in a line of text you do something like this:
Let's say this is the note: let me modify the text
modify the note to: let me {0:modify} the text
then close the note properties window.
how to select it: left click once on the note and move the mouse to the side, then left click again on the word you added {}. Now that word is selected, then right click, text style and text height.
Yeah, Veteran got the right direction which I want. I just want to reduce the diameter symbol(phi) of dimension text, because the diameter symbol is larger than the diamension text when two put together. It will be better if could reduce all special text symbol table with one scale factor.
I used to put the Romans Font on my 2D drawing because the dimension text are more smooth than others. Our company's components are almost turning part, we oftenuse diameter symbol (phi) on 2D drawing, the Romans fonts is very similar with ISOfont that you pointed.
I figure that if diamenter symbol phi could be smaller and same height with dimension text, that will be so nice. Don't you think that diameter symbol is a little bigger compare with dimensiontexton ISOfont ? It will be so ugly when a lot of diameter symbol appear on drawing and we just see a lot of look like " O".
I like it the way it is, and it's not that big. The O itself is the same height as the letters. Just the line in phi is a little bigger.
If you really don't want the phi sign, you could create notes for all dimensions that use diameters like {0hi}&d30 and then you can make the phi smaller. But I would not do this, it's a lot to work.
