Connector text way too big

[m-de-lange]

Hi,

When placing connectors in the family, their text is overlapping huge parts of my family which makes editing extremely annoying.

Apparently there's no way to hide a connector in the family editor, nor can you temporarily turn them off...

How do i make the connector text smaller so it's not annoyingly huge overlapping my family??

Try Options>Graphics>Temporary Dimension Text Appearance

Did you try it? It doesn't work here.

I just realized he was working in the family editor. I thought he was talking about the info text associated with connectors as in the below. The temp dimension setting controls that text.

I don't think the connector dimension text size in the family can be controlled. You could temporary hide/isolate. I have "HH" shortcut set for temp hide element and "HR" shortcut for reset temporary hide/isolate to do such things quickly. In the family editor, I often work with something or another temporarily hidden because things are often on top of each other making it hard to see.

Change the view scale?

You can temporarily hide by category or by element. use the sunglasses at the bottom where you set your detail level.

This only works for standard text labels, not for the blue text that comes with the connector, sadly.

Bloody hell! i'm so used to right clicking > hide element in view that i didn't even know the sunglasses feature..

Thanks, this was what i was looking for!

Kind of strange that some elements can be hidden with the right click, whilst others are only hide able with the sunglasses....
