Controls the physical size of the characters that are used in the output of dimensions, coordinates, and message text in the picture section of the isometric drawing.
This option switch also controls text attributes, which allows height, width, thickness, and font to be user-defined.
-
Title block text, which is always output using large characters (2.8mm), and material list text, which is controlled by either Option Switch 27 or the Material List Definition file, are not affected by the setting of this switch.
-
Text height can be set in 0.1mm increments in a range between 1.0mm and 9.9mm.
-
Text width can be set on 10th mm to allow the height/width ratio to be varied.
-
Text thickness can be set.
-
Text font can be varied; this is achieved by selecting a font from the font information file (Fontstd.fif).
