Dimension text height

[Anonymous]

I posted a question two days ago but my description was not correct. Using Inventor Version 8. When dimensioning object
using .dwg file I can not change the text height.
My steps:
Drawing Annotation Panel
Format
Dimension style
New
Text
And here is a problem. There are 3 fixed sizes in the window
0.100, 0.120 and 0.240 inches. I can not alter those sizes, or I do not know how. Sometimes those fixed sizes are either to small or to large. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

In AutoCAD(dwg) you will need to create a new text style with text height
set to 0. Use that style in the AutoCAD dimension style.

You need to add a new text height using the Text Style editor:
Format->Text Styles ...
Select any text style you can edit (you cannot edit default Text Styles in
R8).
In the Size dropdown enter the new text heights you want to use in your
Dimension Style.
Close the Text Style edit dialog. You can say "no, don't save the Text
Style". Even though you don't save the Text Style the text heights are
added to the "global text height list".
Now those new text heights will be available in the Dimension Style Size
list.

I know this is not very intuitive but the good news is that this is fixed in
later releases.
