updating dimension scale

[Mat Caird]

Hi all

So I began a drawing at 1:50 scale, did a few dimensions, then used the setup assistant to change the layer scale of the floor plan sheets to 1:100.

How do I get the dimensions to update their 'scale' to match the new?

THX in advance

The dimensions should be the same since you only changed the scale on the drawing. You did not change the size of the acutal objects by changing the layer scale.

Without changing the size of objects, dimensions will not change. If you did change the size of objects and the dimensions are not associative dimensions, you will need to re-dimension the objects.

Mat -

I assume that you are wanting to change the size of the text displayed on the dimension strings. Do this by selecting all the dimension strings that have the wrong sized text then using the 'text' menu to drag to the point size you want to change them to.

thanks Doug, that's exactly what I wanted.

Thanks Katie for replying.
