Hi everybody, is it possible to control the text height of a note, used for engraving within manufacturing, by expression. This is meant for the programmers to make it more aesy to change the text-height, and the surrounding text-slot by a single expression value.

Thanks in advance, Bert
 
Try Insert-Curve-Text. Anything newer than NX3, I think, has that function. Tieing them together with a single expression should be possible as a ratio of slot length-width to text spacing-height.
 
What you can do is make the text one unit (mm or inches) high and change the height using "scale"
For instance if the text needs to be .25" high then that number would be used as the scale ratio as well as the text height.
