Smaller Text Height

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 15:49:00 GMT

How do I make my text height smaller than 0.1? It seems the only options are 0.1, 0.12, and 0.24 in document settings.

What does that mean

Apologies for not being clear.

I should have said "there's not currently a way to do that, and we also find it a limitation. It's a great idea, please suggest it using the Feedback forum"

We use Inventor to produce most of our drawings, and 0.093" is our standard text size. 0.125" for titles.

Individual text boxes can be edited, but not at the sheet/style level. Dimensions, balloons and tables are all fixed at whatever size is specc'd in document settings.

We have lots of challenges with Fusion drawings, but the lack of text styles is certainly one of them.

Is this for drawings or are we talking in the design environment itself?

I was referring to drawings, which is what I understood the question to be. (Maybe I was mistaken)

I do not do a lot with drawings...So they might function differently. But in design space I enter what ever size font I like for engraving. The picture shows what I'm working on right now with text overlaid onto it. You can enter other values. I've not had a problem yet by entering my own values. But again I'm in design space.

I just wish they had a way to adjust kerf.

Yes.... the ability to change text box properties in a design sketch is quite different from annotation sketch in a drawing.

If you're looking forward to 'kerning' adjustment, there's a preview of things to come HERE. Note it's called 'spacing' and it doesn't appear to be true typographic kerning per se, but at least some horizontal adjustment.
