I cant find a place to change just GDT datums. They are coming out too small and I would like to enlarge just the datum. Also, say Im showing a detail of a oring groove. Is there anyway to shown the diamter of the overall groove in the detail? I forgot what the term is. Im thinking there is either usually 2 arrows or the dim line has a break in it. thanks

Change the font height for increasing the datum size.

And that double arrow or zig-zag is Foreshortened dimensioning

I dont have the option to change the font height for just a particular datum. When I click on properties for datum A, it only lets me change the layer and the way the box looks. I am about to install 2010 later this week. Maybe it has changed.
