Adjusting Rack Elevation text size and position


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am usually working with Rack devices that need to be mounted on Rack shelves etc. - It seems that the cc2019 Rack drawer / and device front plate objects are gone from cc2020?

 

I also need to adjust the text size and position for smaller devices. If i ungroup the device I can do this but then the ConnectCad functionality breaks.

What i have:

I would like to edit the text positions and sizes. Is it possible?

Not gone - just re-located. Look for these in the Resource Manager.

Select your equipment and use the Text > Size menu to set the size lower. You'll have to set a very low size to see a difference because the object automatically scales text down to fit. But there are limits - if you have an Equipment like this

No amount of fiddling with the font size will get you a good-looking readable result. You might consider using shorter words...
