On static and dynamic display of dimensions ; and converting annotations to lines.

Hello Michael,

1 - Ha ! at first I though that I simply overlooked the option you mention ... but I now realize that it simply isn't available in V4, as the property panel for dims on my end is as follows :



Is there perhaps a way to toggle the option without going through the UI ?

2 - Understood - but I suppose that even by simply relying on a PDF export to bake things down, I would still be limited by the fact that I can't lock the text in place beforehand since I don't have access to the Scaling option for text in V4. So I suppose that this goes back to question (1), on how to possibly set text scaling for dims and annotations to be by model units. Is the current zoom factor at the time of export determining the equivalent Scaling that the DXF dims get written as ?

(As a matter of fact, being able to "bake down" the text and dims to geometry/lines would become secondary or even not needed at all if I could at least set the scaling of these objects to be by model units - because that way I'd now that there would be full consistency between my MOI work scenes and my DXF exports for the shop, and that would be a good place to be). Of course I could also upgrade to V5 but that's not something I need at the moment and I would rather keep all my current projects as V4.

As always thanks for the support !
