change dimension size when using annotate

Hi,

Can't figure out how to change the dimension text height when using the annotate features within a part.

Try one of these

Aha, thanks! Note Text (ISO) - 3DA changed it for me.

Annotation scale perhaps?

This is what I immediately thought, but it is greyed out for me for some reason.

Ok, it only became active for me after placing a dimension.

Your screenshot shows several placed dimensions already, so i don't know why it would be greyed out.

@SharkDesign's solution worked, so i guess it's all good. 👍

It is greyed out in my Inventor 2022 all the time. What might be wrong with it?

Cheers,

Hi Folks,

Annotation Scale dropdown becomes grayed when one of the followings happens.

1) There is no MBD/3DA object in the context.

2) The active Design View is Master.

3) The active Design View is locked.

Many thanks!

Hi,

why the Annotation Scale is grayed out and is not able to change for Primary View (old Master)?

Thanks

Hi Jimmy,

This is just my guess. The Annotation Scale is done in a way by altering the Design View. An assembly Primary Design View cannot be changed anyway.

Many thanks!
