CAD Block Text Resizing

[Kendalln]

Hello, I am trying to create the 2D CAD blocks with text for a few objects in my library, and when I go to change the size of that object the 2D text on the CAD block gets bigger as well. Is there a way to make the text so it stays the same size or does not get as big when the object is resized?

Unblock it before resizing

In X13 you can add text and rich_text to the library without blocking it.  Big improvement.

And then you can edit the text directly in the library.

Big improvement again.

Use the object's label instead of adding text to the CAD Block is one way.  In X13 labels gained quite a bit of functionality to help with this too.
