What height do you want your text to be?

 

Remember to scale from Imperial to Metric you *25.4

 

And from Metric to Imperial you /25.4 or *0.03937007874015748031496062992126

 

The above are inches/millimetres

You have to change your drawing units first.

 

Follow the steps.

 

Go to ---> Drawing Utilities

Select ---> Units

 

Change 'Insertin Scale' Units to scale inserted content, into metric.

 

Now in command:  STYLE

 

Change 'Height'. This will be your default text height.

 

And then you're all set.

This is based on a commonly used text height in metric for annotation:

1:1 = 3.5mm

1:5 = 17.5mm

1:10 = 35mm

1:15 = (very uncommon scale to use in metric)

1:20 = 70mm

1:25 = (not a common scale to use in metric)

1:50 = 175mm

1:75 = (not a common scale to use in metric)

1:100 = 350mm

1:200 = 700mm

1:300 = (not a common scale to use in metric)

1:400 = (not a common scale to use in metric)

1:500 = 1750mm

1:1000 = 3500mm
