mtldesigns Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 OK, I have searched and not finding anything and needing someone's help. I know some of you Chiefer's can go right to the spot and communicate back, and I will appreciate that. I need to create two different default sets and text styles. I remember seeing a chart or topic on how to scale the character height by the text scale. Where is that? I need to create a 3/32" and 3/8" default sets. I am guessing here by using a ratio that if 1/4" is 6" height and 1/8" is 12" height, would 3/32" be 15" and 3/8" be 9". Back in the day using Paperspace in CAD, I could do the math.. but not sure how Chief does it. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtldesigns Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hey DE I took the 1/4" scale @ 6" and the 1/8" scale @ 12" from the defaults setting. Chief does this backwards, at least it seams its backwards. 1/2" scale has 2" text height (OOB). Am I being dyslexic, thought I wrote it right?

Sorry, your question wasn't clear... but now I think I realize what you were asking was how to get the text to print at the same printed height in two differently scaled drawings. Glenn's advice should get you there... best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Eric, is that correct - it doesn't look right to me? Michael, Or here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 You know I asked the question before I went for it, wanted my ducks in a row.. before I adding the two styles. If I would have just done it, I would have seen the "scale" tab next to the character height. One of those brain moments. STILL.. would like to know how Chief comes up with these. Thanks Glenn, DE, Eric, and Chop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the fractions that make it seem difficult. Construct your formula from one that is known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
