Text Height Standards

[ddeck]

Does anybody know what the standard text height is for Dimensions, Notes, Title Block, captions, etc.

We have a drawing border from an another company who uses "ASME Y14.00" standard. Anybody know what this standard says for text heights?

We want to follow Y14.00, is this the latest standard?
