aligned dimension text size different

I am using annotative dimensions and when I use normal dimensions the text comes out correct at 3/32" but when I use aligned dimensions the text height is 1/8".  How do I fix this?

Same exact DIMSTYLE with no overrides? Not possible: post a DWG portion with the problem if you want additional review of the issue.

Your DIMSTYLE behaves as it should, regardless of angle, all the text is the specified height.

However, your currently drawn dimensions and text are not correct for the posted annotative scale (1/64"): so I turned on ANNOAUTOSCALE, set the annotative scale to 1:1 then back to 1/64"=1'-0" and they all bounced back to the correct size.

Thank you.  The ANNOAUTOSCALE was set to -4 on my drawing.  I reset it to be 1 and did what you said and yes the dimensions resized to the correct size.  So should I change my template to be 1?

I keep mine set to 4 all the time (it's a system setting, not per file I believe).
