Is it possible to change the text scale/height of datum tags in the model display?
Solved! Go to Solution.
for posterity...
there is a hidden config option, USE AT OWN RISK, I'm on Creo 2.0 M100 :
text_height_factor
you can enter a percentage value, when I added the config it auto-populated with a value of 70, assuming that's default) I changed mine to 90 (smaller display size) and it is much better.
edit: Creo does seem a little slower on startup, noticeable but not that bad. Why this isn't an available setting out of the box is puzzling.

On a related note, is there an option to change the font of the datum tags?
i think there is a setting to get the old Wildfire stick fonts, I forgot how though.
EDIT:
found it....
use_pre_wildfire_text_font = yes, no (default)
hmm... that kind of works. I was looking for the way to specify which truetype font the system would use for the tags...
yeah, that one i don't know, these were nthe only font settings i found
default_font
Sets font for text other than menu bar, menus and their children, and pop-up menus and help. Add comma-delimited variables in any order (italic bold, 24, times or 24, times, italic bold have the same effect). Any omitted variable uses standard setting.
fonts_size
Determines the relative size of the text in menus and dialog boxes. You must restart Creo Parametric for the change to take effect.
menu_font
Specify font used in the Creo Parametric menu bar, menus, and all their children. Specify the comma-delimited variables in any order (italic bold, 24, times or 24, times, italic bold have the same effect). Any omitted variable uses the standard setting.
popuphelp_font
Specify font used in the Creo Parametric pop-up help. Add the comma-delimited variables in any order (italic bold, 24, times or 24, times, italic bold have the same effect). Any omitted variable uses the standard setting.
model_tree_font
Specify font used in the Creo Parametric Model Tree. specify the comma-delimited variables in any order (italic bold, 24, times or 24, times, italic bold have the same effect). Any omitted variable uses the standard setting.
I don't know of a way either to change the model display font to use a true type font instead. the hidden config option text_height_factor to make the model display fonts smaller is working for me. thanks for listing the other options, I am using a mono-spaced font for my model tree now, which helps me keep track of part numbers (e.g. model_tree_font consolas, 10)
