Dimension Text Size

Keith Miller's Photo Keith Miller 31 Oct 2022

Hi - I am new to NanoCad and am hoping to do some house plans. I have set up my model limits using an A3 sheet and set the origin as 0,0 and the upper limit as 42000,29700. I input the the drawing to the millimetre. When I have input text I have used Arial with height 2. That appears to be OK. However, when I try and add dimensions, I don't appear to see any dimension text - only the line and arrow heads(size 200). What size should the text be? I am trying text height of 200, but it appears miniscule. Any advice gratefully received.

Hello!
It might be connected to Symbol and Measurement Scales.

They are in the right bottom side of working area, looks like: m1:100

where:
M - measurement scale, which affect dimensions, you set on the object.
m - symbol scale, affects text. line widths, text on dimensions you set etc.

More about this scales you can read in nanoCAD "help" - "contents and index..."
Type SCALE in the top field in tab "index", then you'll be able to read more about this scales.

Dimesion text, you are mentioned depends on Symbol Scale.

Don't hesitate to ask more, if needed, or my explanation was too vague.
