AutoCad Dimension - Change Text Size

AutoCad Dimension - Change Text Size

AutoCad Dimension - Change Text Size

(OP)
I have a 3-D piping isometric CAD drawing that I created using AutoCad LT for Windows 95.  When I print it out in paper space, the text is too small to read.  How do I change the dimension text size to a legible size?

RE: AutoCad Dimension - Change Text Size

Hopefully, the drawing uses dimension styles.  If so, edit the dimension style (DDIM) and on the "Fit" tab, check mark "Scale dimensions to layout (paper space)"

RE: AutoCad Dimension - Change Text Size

You can also change the height off the textstyle. But be careful. All off the text placed on that textstyle will be changed to this height.
