Dim text spacing.

[john.p.addy]

I thought I had posted about this in the past but I can't seem to find it if I did so I'll ask again.

When using Subscript in the Dim, as seen below, the subscript fades into the line below it.  Is there a way to put more spacing between the lines ?

Ok I get I can do that.  Just trying to not do that.

"Just trying to not do that."

Understandable ('cause that's a PITA). But it is a workaround, after all.

Sadly, linespacing has never been a feature of the text editor in dimensions. You'll need to fudge a fix, try a forces \X or \U action, or something with black spaces and text sizing. Experiment until you find it.

Best of luck with it.

I haven't changed defaults to get my subscript 1 taller like yours, but the point is:  The image is in the Dimension text editor, and the little white thing between the lines of content is the text cursor in a line between the other two that is set for a tiny text height, and has no character content.  You can experiment with a text height for that intermediate line that will give you the effect you want.

EDIT:  Here's the text-content entry in entity data for that:

(1 . "Q{\\H0.7x;\\S^1;\\H0.07937x;\\P\\P}TEST")

The red part is the tiny-izing of the text height for the middle line [which is actually imposed before the carriage return that makes that middle line, which is the blue part].  The two \\P entries in a row are the two carriage returns, with nothing between them being the no character content of the middle line.

Presumably a routine could be written that would define a command that would just impose the red [with some appropriate number] and blue parts into any Dimension text containing a carriage return that you would select -- all you would need to do would be to pick the Dimension.

In that case, your workaround is @Kent1Cooper  suggestions of adding a space and adjusting that space by the text height.

Thank you,  I actually never thought about doing it that way.
