@Sept 2024:
Just posting a script Michael did me the other day.
If you use this script or both of them it allows you to zoom into the screen and get dimension sizes looking great

I use these scripts in conjunction with settings > “scaling dimensions by screen size”


Increase font size:

script: /* Increase dim font size */ var dims = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getAnnotations(); for ( var i = 0; i < dims.length; ++i ) { var dim = dims.item(i); if ( dim.fontName == '' ) { dim.fontName = moi.ui.fontName; dim.fontPtSize = moi.ui.fontSize; } dim.fontPtSize += 3.0; }

Decrease font size:

script: /* Decrease dim font size */ var dims = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getAnnotations(); for ( var i = 0; i < dims.length; ++i ) { var dim = dims.item(i); if ( dim.fontName == '' ) { dim.fontName = moi.ui.fontName; dim.fontPtSize = moi.ui.fontSize; } dim.fontPtSize -= 3.0; if ( dim.fontPtSize < 1.0 ) { dim.fontPtSize = 1.0; } }

Excellent scripts, I missed them too :-)
Thanks a lot.
Mik

Excellent, I've just found these too!

Pleased to attach, a new prototype script / tool and it's seemingly working nicely (*).
Sets or sizes dim text font heights fast, interactively. You can use mouse or keyboard...

Command line word & script name "dimfont"






Run script and then select dim-annotation objects:



OR select objects and run the script....

Allows multi dim-text object selections BEFORE running the script...(not during)









Might be expanded to cover other elements 'another day'...
* feedback/input is welcome.

OTHER: Slider goes upto height "200", if you need bigger overwrite using <height> field,

How to 'install' scripts & 'assign' shortcuts:
Install scripts
Assign shortcut keys via options/shortcuts

Great tool, thank you.

BTW - I guess it's for Michael:

Is there a way to make an Arrow to be screen aligned too?
