ablackmon81 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi! I'm getting complaints from my contractor that the dimensions are too small and hard to read. How can I enlarge dims on a plan that's already complete? How can I set my dimensions to be larger from here on out? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I would kindly suggest that you read the Help Files or Reference Manual and perhaps go through the Tutorial Guide because your question seems to indicate a lack of understanding how to use Chief at a very basic and fundamental level. I'm almost hesitant to answer your question because I suspect you really need to reference the aforementioned materials, but just to get your started... All you really need to do is open up one of your dimensions and you'll have a few options right off the bat. Explore those a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablackmon81 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I appreciate your time. I read up on exactly what you've suggested before I posted my question. The issue is that the text (room descriptions and dimensions) size is 6" as stated in your attachment. It's the auto interior and exterior dimensions that are still small. Does this make sense?

ablackmon81 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I figured it out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I believe they are Controlled by the Active Dimension Default in use when you Click the Auto Dimension Icon.... You can put an Active Dimension Defaults Dropdown box on your ToolBar which makes it easier to switch.... *** use the Edit>Delete Objects>CAD Menu to get rid of the existing ones and try the 1/8 scale Dims instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See post above too.... but I forgot to mention what you see in Chief maybe different depending on the Zoom Level and the Setting in the Pic. Below in Preferences ...and what you see in a PDF for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
