Archicad font sizes - SO CONFUSED

Expert

HI!!

After having a great feedback on font sizes in previous posts,  I decided to use 9pt on floor plans as size for dimensions  & text/annotations.

 

I wanted to share my confusion about different sizing in PT and INCHES - and if someone would have solution for this?

 

I am trying to set up THE SAME size of fonts for dimensions and text. However, dimensions show in PT, while text in INCHES. 

I converted 9pt to inch which seems to be 0,011" and that is not even seen by a human eye. 

 

Is there a way to set up PT for both (fonts & dimensions numbers?). Do I really need calculator to convert this? Please could someone helpppp

Ok! thank you so much for explaining. I hope I got it right. Meanwhile I will try to do a print test :D. 

 

In 1/8" = 1'-0" and in 1/4 = 1'=0 and I put there different sizes in pt and inches " through the floor pla and elevations and dimensions ... this just must work!!! :D:D:D
