Hi All

Is there a way to change the system defaults for the text thickness shown on cross section arrows i.e A-A. I have found one spot but it affects all text and dimenions.

Then when you place your section view the text header is placed like this (section A-A), two sizes of text with different thickness or fonts.

Thanks for any help

For example for “SECTION A-A”, if you want to change either just “SECTION”, or just “A-A”, and leave the other one as it is, or using two different fonts and sizes, select from the menu FORMAT --> TEXT STYLE, and now you can pick whichever word you want and change it as you wish. im4cad

Hi IM4CAD

Yes you are correct, I want to be able to set this so this in Config.pro or Drawing setup file (.dtl) so these little over sites get done automaticlly.

Thanks for you input

Never used that kind of settings. This only takes a few seconds, once in a while to modify so I don't feel like I really need them to change automatically. im4cad

Add "def_view_text_height n.nn" to your drawing setup.dtl. Where n.nn denotes the required text height in whatever drawing units you utilize.
