[solved] changing the text height in dimensions

Post by thomasgog » Tue Dec 22, 2020 8:52 pm

Hello,

I am a newcomer to qcad and this question has probably been asked before:

How can I change the text height in dimensions to match the overall looks of the drawing ?

(I'm using the QCAD Community Edition, Version: 3.25.2.0 (3.25.2) under Windows 10)

Thank you

Hi,

For the actual drawing: Menu .. Edit .. Drawing Preferences .. Dimension .. Dimension Settings .. Text height (Ctrl+I)
In general for new drawings see similar but under 'Application Preferences' (Ctrl+,)

There is a lot more one can customize. :wink:

Regards,
CVH

... never mind, I figured it out.
... using the "Scale" parameter in the Property Editor

That option scales more as the text alone !
