Slope Percent (%) label text is not changing height

So, I have slope % angles labeled on a plan, but they are too large.  They are 1/8" tall, and I need them to be 3/32" tall.

 

I have checked the style (ROMANS) to be sure the text height is set to 0", and it is.  I've also ensured that these labels are on this label style.

 

Check the screenshot.  I added 2 screenshots with a huge differrence in font size just to be sure my point gets across. And, I have hit APPLY and closed the window just to be sure.  You will see up top, I have it set to 3/32".  Actually the text isn't showing right, it is still stuck on 1/8".  But, regardless, you can see in the lower screenshot where I have changed it to 3", but the text has not changed.

 

What is going on here?  Am I missing something?

 

As a side note, the text on the slope labels should match the height of the contour labels you can see in the screenshots.

 

Thanks.

Your screenshot shows the 'Dragged State' tab. What height is the text set to in the 'Layout' tab?

Oh wow.  It didn't show a text height in the layout tab, but I didn't notice the pulldown menu to switch between "Direction Arrow" and "Surface Slope" until just now.

 

Thanks a lot!  Smiley Happy

Did you go to 'Layout' tab and select the text component in the drop-down? It should have a place to set the text height!

Under "Surface Slope" under the Layout tab, it does allow me to change the text height. Thanks.

Thanks for the fix, but also this realm of autocad is my biggest complaint. The user experience for this area of editing annotation is absolute garbage. I hope they fix it.

Those labels aren't in Dragged State, but your label style editor is. Go to the Layout tab.
