Change font size on member labels for printouts 1

bootlegend · Nov 8, 2010

I seem to get my setting screwed up every time there is a major update, and the last update with version 9 was no exception. How do I adjust the size of the text that gets printed on the sketches (member labels, lengths, etc)? The default setting prints a very, very tiny font on the sketch even though the displayed font size on the screen is larger.

I adjusted the font size, but to get a decent printout size the displayed font is larger than the members and creates a big mess.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Figured it out. Again. Maybe I'll write it down this time.

If anyone else is reading this, it would be good to note that the controls for these are in the graphic print options that come up each time you print. There are two "scale factors" for diagrams and text that adjusts the size of the printed graphics.

Thought these settings apply to everythign equally. If you want to set individual text sizes manually (eg you want to see the node labels bigger than member labels) then this can be done with a Tools - Preferences settings.
