REDUCING SIZE OF CALL OUTS FROM TOOLBOX PARTS

REDUCING SIZE OF CALL OUTS FROM TOOLBOX PARTS

REDUCING SIZE OF CALL OUTS FROM TOOLBOX PARTS

(OP)
When I bring a toolbox part into an assembly and then open that part in its own window and create a feature and give it a dimension.... the dimension callouts are huge.  Is there a way to reduce the size of the callouts (dimenions)?

RE: REDUCING SIZE OF CALL OUTS FROM TOOLBOX PARTS

Tools/Document Properties/Annotations Font/change the font types.
Also: Tools/Document Properties/Annotations Display/(select box) Always display text at the same size.

Go to Tools > Options > Document Properties > Annotations Display and make sure Always display text at same size is selected.

Also Tools > Options > Document Properties > Annotations Font and make sure sizes are set to what you want.
