Duct size labels

Hi,

This may seem like a stupid question but I was wondering if there was a way
to change the size of the duct size label. I would like to be able to
change the size according to the scale that I am plotting in. i.e. 4.5" for
1/4" scale
and 6" for 1/8" scale. I have looked all through the help menu and can't
seem to find how to change the size. Also is there a way to get that tag to
display the bottom of duct elevation?

Thanks

-Rob

The label sizes change according to what scale you have in the drawing setup
located under the desktop menu item. Simply choose the scale in the box to
what you desire and the labels will change their size accordingly.

There is no way to get a tag to display any elevations that I can find.

Rob,
The Duct Labels are controlled thru the the label style assigned via duct preference. Inside the Labe styles box, edit a style an then you can control the text style the label uses

yes u can change the size of the duct label. Ok type ST (text style) on the command line. make some text styles (example) new text style, then pick the font you use, then put the height, apply i.e CRS 7.5 (height) 7 1/2". Then go to Format (pull down) click Style manager expand Documentation Objects click Label Curve Styles right click select new New. Now Double click on the one u just made and customize it. make sure on the Label Style Annotation tab to pick the text style u made i.e. CRS 7.5. If u need to see attachment let me know and I will make some.
Thanks
