text scale for template

I am trying to set up my template for architectural drawings.  I would like to use annotative text and dimensions and leaders.  I have selected a font and am trying to set my Paper Space text height to 3/32" so all drawings in all scales have text of 3/32".  When I type in 3/32" it returns a value of 1/8".  How do I get it to recognize the 3/32" value. Also if I save this in the dwt file will it always be set for this?

Go to UNITS and change the Precision value to 1/32 instead of 1/8.

2. Yes

accept solution. One problem though; my text for leaders says 3/32" but it comes out 1/8". When I double click on the text box it shows 6" (at 1/4" scale) not 4 1/2" as it should.

Are you using MLEADER or QLEADER?

From the Dropdown; Format; MLeader or fromt he Command line: MLEADERSTYLE make sure the text height is set to 4-1/2".

If you have defined a height for this Text in the Textstyle manager this box will be grayed out.

Thanks. I am using MText or MLeader. I tried qleader and it came out the right size. I'm not sure why you use one over the other. The mleader seems to be the default and there is only a Block or None option in the styles. The grayed out box says 3/32". Should this be set to zero in the text style?

Post a DWG file with the problem MLEADER in it, add instructions inside the fil to shwo what you want vs. what you got.

On the bottom right of each post in the Thread is a place to select the Mark as Solution.

Doing this step will allow the post to show how it was Solved and will provide the telltale Green Check.
