Is it possible to change sketch dimension size bigger and location to above dimension line like it is possible in solidworks ?

if you got to application options, on the general tab. look for annotation scale and change that from 1 to whatever you like. that should do it.

You can edit any format through the Styles Editor. You can change the Standard styles but also create a style that you only use occasionally and apply manually when needed. In our case, the "Small Text" is standard, but "Big Text" can be used as well (see second image).

(right-click the Style you want as standard in the tree-view and select Active)

Thank you. I know that. It scales it and also xyz indicator, but is it possible to move above dim line? I think it is not possible.

not in the sketch environment that I am aware of, but you can definitely define that in the drawing

It is not possible for sketch dimensions. Unless @johnsonshiue has a secret way via the registry perhaps?

Thank you to confirm this. I thought it might be in that way.

Hi! Gabriel is right. I am not aware of an option to do that. But you can change the sketch dimension size by using a bigger Annotation Scale (Tools -> App Options -> Another Scale).

Many thanks!
