Hello,

I’d like to know if it is possible to change the font size in technical drawing?  
I have a drawing that I want to show some tiny measurements, but text are too big that they overlap with each other. Is there a solution to this?  
Thanks very much!

Charlton

I agree. I am having the same problem right now. Dimensions are way too small.

I have the same request.  
At the moment the font size scales with paper size, so it doesn’t make sense to use a bigger paper size to add measurements on a very detailed view. The font is often to big if you have a lot of different measurements at a small spot.  
It would also be nice to change arrow size as well.

+1 for this one. I’m using ANSI B paper format, and the font is a way to big.

You can just change the scale
