Different text height for different sheet sizes

Create drawing templates based on your formats.

Set the desired annotation heights in the drawing templates.

‘Use template’, not ‘Empty with format’, to create drawings.

bit of a weird quirk with format templates: anything you set in the .dtl for the format itself is overridden by the drawing’s .dtl. Most likely, if “Use Default Template” is not checked when creating a new drawing, it’s applying a .drw .dtl file, which is why your text heights aren’t matching with the formats.

To fix this:

Make sure each format (.frm) has a corresponding drawing template (.drw) with the format inside it and the correct .dtl assigned.
If you’re using “Empty with Format,” it will only pick up a single system .dtl, ignoring any custom sizes you set in the format.
You can also use ModelCheck rules to enforce which standard .dtl file is loaded based on the sheet size.

Basically, the drawing’s .dtl always wins over the format’s .dtl, so your changes need to be applied at the drawing template level.

Mixing sheet sizes in a single drawing is not recommended.

Each format size should have its own corresponding drawing template.

I think i have found an answer.

I have created s seperate .dtl for each sheet size...so ans A0_setup.dtl...A1_setup.dtl etc.

When we go to create i new drawing we will just load this from File - Prepare - Drawing Properties and then save the drawing.

This seems to work fine
