Changing text size on drawing

[ptc-4747774]

Hello. I am having a dickens of a time with my default settings on the drawing portion.

Any tips on how to set the default setting to 0.1400 and keep that as my default?

As of now, I am able to select the inital text and resize, but it's time consuming.

Thanks, J

There is a different config file for the drawings. It can be called <anything>.dtl.

You can also set which file to use and where to find it through config.pro.

Config.pro

drawing_setup_file C:\<etc>\<etc>\CAD_Lib\Detail_config\My_Config.dtl

<anything>.dtl

text_height 0.156250

text_thickness 0.012000

text_width_factor 0.800000

...etc.

The difference between the config.pro and config.dtl is that config.pro normally only has unique entries. config.dtl has all the entries. You can export the default .dtl file directly from Creo.

File>Prepare>Drawing Properties>Detail Options>change... this will bring up the dialog similar to the config option for config.pro.

Does this apply to Creo Schematics? I don't have File>Prepare>Drawing Properties>Detail Options>change. I've got File>Pack, File>Unpack, File>Import, and File>Export.

Never used Creo Schematics myself. Each application from PTC has its own settings dialog.

Would hate to have similarities across platforms.

Oh, but... they all have the same ribbon tied around them
