Format existing text / GeneralNotes

Hi All,

 

I have an interesting quandry.  I have searched the forums and the general web for an answer for this to no avail.

 

The dialogue box below shows some general notes we use in our templates.  The highlighted text is 3.5mm high and the rest is 2.5mm high (i.e. 1mm less than the NOTES: text).

What I can't find the answer to is, if I change the sheet size to, say, A1 from A2, I'd like that text size to increase to 4.5mm and 3.5mm respectively. I know that notes can be added and formatted via a rule and this would work fine if through the process of creating the drawing the notes didn't change.  However, through the drawing process the notes will grow to contain more specific items pertaining to the part/fabrication being drawn. Occasionally, the sheet size may need to increase or decrease whilst the drawing process is underway and the notes have changed from the original template notes.

 

Notes on a finished drawing may look like this....

So, by using a rule to add the notes, I fear this may revert it back to the original notes if I decide to change the sheet size.

 

I do use a form to change the sheet size as this is the only way I can 'trigger' any iLogic rules I'll need.

So, my question is, how can I format text 'on the fly' without affecting the actual text within the notes?

I hope I've put that in an understandable way. 

 

Thanks in advance  :slightly_smiling_face:
