Post by David Milner » Sun Sep 19, 2021 12:28 am

My drawing has items that are feet long. How do I edit dimensioning to be able to see it without zooming in on it.

You can change the dim label text height for the actual drawing below Menu / Edit / Drawing Preferences / Dimension Settings.
Alternative you can use the Info tools for a quick check on dimensions.

Note: For printing most likely you have to change the dim text height regarding to the print scale. :wink:
