When i create drawing with assemblies, sub assemblies and part details, I like to put a descritive note under each particular drawing view eg "Main Drive Sprocket Coupling" Scale 1:5. If i change the scale of the drawing I have to manually change the scale note. I know about the sheet scale option but their are some details which are usually at differnt scales.
Also is their a way (that works) that I can link item numbers of parts (detail drawings) to to the main BOM which may or may not be on the same sheet.
Thanking you in advance - this is my first Thread

You can highlight the text you want to change. Then, in feature manager tree, uncheck the use documents font. You should be able to click on the Font button and make it what you want. As far as the linking, I am not sure what you are asking. You can link to custom file properties and add almost anything you want.
