Alternate dimension text size

I have a user who created a drawing so I believe its "clean." When he used a non-annotative dimension style, the alternate text was really tiny compared to the primary text size. When he updated the dim to an annotative style, it remained a different size.

 

I checked STYLE and the settings in DIM Manager. They are all the same as my machine. Properties doesn't show any difference either. I even right clicked to see if I could find a setting there, but didn't.

 

I cannot reproduce this behavior. I use the same DIMSTYLE. All the text in my dimensions are the same size. Does anyone have any ideas?

AUDIT maybe?  

 

Can you post a sample that shows the problem dimension?

INSERT the problem file into a trouble-free file and see if those existing dimensions are corrected.

The dimensions with the very large text have dimension overrides.

Once you remove the overrides, the dimensions are fine.

Thanks! I never looked in properties for an override. I didn't see an override in the DimStyle Manager and just figured there was a glitch or a setting was off.
