Drawing view (font sizes)

Drawing view (font sizes)

Drawing view (font sizes)

(OP)
I know this is a tiny nitpicky question but it is a procedural requirement on this project, but on our section
views if we change the scale of a section from the view the section was cut from we are required to show the section label at one size and the scale below set to one half the font size of the label.

I.E. a correct section label would be SECTION A-A century gothic bold unit height 6MM but the SCALE1:2 is reqired to be same as, but with a unit height of 3MM.

Is there any way to change the settings within SW to do this automatically?

I apologize but this is a frequent pain to have to go in and change as many labels as we are having to do.

RE: Drawing view (font sizes)

Per drafting stds, text/font is to be consistant in size, not different sizes in different scaled views. Normal size is 1/8 [3.17mm] high. I do not know of a way at this time to do it auto.
