- TSCRN Menu: (DIM) DMSET / MTEXT
- ===============================================================================
- Sets fixed text, dimension, and linear pattern plot scales and dimension
- extension line size.
-
- 1. (NUM) plot scale for fixed text/dimension/linear pattern
- (0.01-100000) <100>
- 2. (NUM) dimension extension line size (in mm., greater than 0) <5>
-
- Description
-
- This command determines the plot size for the subsequently created text,
- dimension and linear pattern ("text entity") created by giving it a unique
- plot scale. The default when entering the work session is 100. This command
- also determines the dimension extension line size.
-
- All "fixed texts" created after this setting are affected immediately by this
- setting. It does not affect any previously created "text entity" until \refr
- or any other screen redraw command is executed.
-
- Fixed text will maintain the same size during placing, at any scale. It will
- be scaled on screen during a zoom. Its final size on screen is calculated by:
-
- real size = original size * current plot scale (reference scale)
- screen size = real size/screen scale
-
- Scaled text in placed objects is changed in size according to the placing scale
- only (the factor on the `X' of its active plane). Its final size on screen is
- calculated by:
-
- real size = original size * placing factor
- screen size = real size /screen scale
-
- Fixed text size is affected by the current reference scale set in \tscrn.
