How to setup text size and arrow size to be different

I want to make the text size and arrow size different when I do the dimension and the wire/color gauge labels. This is because normally for a enclosure or panel page where I use dimension labels the page scale is much larger then when I'm working on a wire power page with our standard size. Can anyone help me make it so these two sizes aren't linked through the software. thanks!

Post a DWG file, in it show us what you want (fudge as needed) vs. what you are stuck with where you don't want it.

ok here is where you modify the dimension styles. so if i set this to the sizes i want for just dimension it will also change wire/color and label sizes seen below.

does anyone know how to make these separate even if its through layers or another method because these seem to be attached in the code. Does this clarify things?

@mark_schmeer8RVA6 if you cannot work with dimstyle overrides (what happens when you change sizing on the second pop-up), then you will need two separate dimstyles (and you ought to never call either one STANDARD so it is easier to know which one is active).

after saying that i just figured out how to add another category so ill just have to change them when i need different sizes, i was hoping i wouldn't have to and could set them up separately but no big deal, just trying to make it easier for new guys to not have to know so many features.
