Scaled dimension text not behaving

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 14:01:51 GMT

Hi,

Hate asking stupid questions - but how do I get the dimensions to scale in the layouts? I place dimensions in the project at a suitable size for 1:100 layouts, but now I need a 1:25 layout and the dimension text is massive!

Please help,
Henry

Update:

I just read http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=25645&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0&sid=5b9511be839cadd1401d63a0bf6ae791

which deals with the problem but does not help me.

Here is a screenshot of my LAYOUT on A3 paper. Exactly the same view but at 2 different scales. The title "TYPICAL SECTION" is at 3.5mm. Now the dims in 1:25 are going to print EVEN BIGGER! And in 1:100 you can hardly see them. The dimtext is scaling in relation to the scale but shouldn't. How do I get the dimtext to appear 2mm on the layout regardless of scale?

Change the scale of the drawing BEFORE saving it as a View.

My English skill is not enough to explain it deeply, but sure someone will do if you need some further.

Dimension marker size should be as small as text size

Thanks, works well in a rounabout kinda way!

While I am on the subject, I work in mm, so if something is 1m it gives me 1,000 and I want 1000 - how do I get rid of the comma?

If I undestend it correctly, I think you have to change the setting in your system (PC control panel).
