how to change anotation default values in UGNX
how to change anotation default values in UGNX
(OP)
I don't know how I can change default values under preference - anotation-
Whenever I open a new file, default values of dim. text appears 3.984 which is not a standard so I have to change all default values manually every time to the GM DCS standard.
Is there any way to save or change default values permanently to proper standard values so that I don't have to change these values manually every time.
Yours help will be appericiated

Drafting text size can be set in the drafting section of the ug_english.def file:
! Dimension Text
Drafting_dimTextCharSize: 0.156 ! Inches
System admin privileges are required to do this.

As ewh has explained we can change the settings permanently by editing the default file. But english.def file is for inches, so you have to edit ug_metric.def file.
Another alternative is we can have a macro created as per our required stds and run this macro at the beginning.

I tried before to creat macro but it doesn't run properly.
Is there any proper method to creat this kind of macro. Have you ever created this type of macro???
Tips provide by my other friends will work fine but my idea was to fix the root of this problem. Why EDS has set the default value of text to 3.9878 / 0.157". These values doesn't fit anywhere in the drafting standards.
Thanks to everybody

To create a macro that is consistent in playback, you should always satrt it with some commands tat will give you a standard starting point.
No dialog boxes open.
Switch application to gateway and then drafting to clean the menus.
