Note Font Size

Note Font Size

(OP)
Hi,

  When creating a note, how can I control or change the font size?

Such as if I have, View A-A, want to make the 'A-A' bigger.

Thanks

RE: Note Font Size

Point on entity right mouse button until it become red, text style, and than you can edit text font, spacing, size, colour...

Hi Damirko,


  When I do this, the whole note changes font size.  I only want the 'A-A' to get 2 x's larger.  

  At the moment, I do not see this option, unless I separate notes, which I don't want to do either.

RE: Note Font Size

Under drawing options you will find settings for drawing_text_height and def_view_text_height.  We set them to 2.5 and 3.5 mm for small drawings and 3.5 & 5.0 mm for A1 & larger.  The def_view_text_height will only affect newly created views, it is not retroactive.

If you break existing notes up into short strings you can apply formatting to the individual pieces.

{1:&view_name}{2: &det_scale} is a parametric note where the view name and the view scale can be set with different text styles.  You can edit any note and put in the curly braces, number & colon to break it up for formatting.

Hi,

  I am not finding Drawing Option area or I don't seem to have a "Drawing Option" to go to in my menu drop downs.

If using this: {1:&view_name}{2: &det_scale}, where does it go & where do I designate the desired view callout name?

  I added to the Text Box area & it didn't do anything for me.

Thanks

RE: Note Font Size

If you click Right Mouse Button in drawing (with nothing selected) and pick properties, there is a drawing options on the menu that comes up.  This opens every setting in your drawing controlling text, dimensions, geometric tolerances, etc.  You can make changes (don't forget to APPLY), save your settings to a file, load setting files, etc.  

The note {1:&view_name}{2: &det_scale} is one Pro/E makes when you create a detailed view.
