How can you change the text size for just one note in Inventor Professional 2021?
All other CAD packages allow a "local override" to an individual text entry's attribute (like text height). When I right click on the text I want to change and select Edit Text... it pulls up the Format Text dialog box. That box allows me to change the 0.0 deg to a different angle (what works), but when I change the font height (which is also white with a pulldown menu of other options) and click ok, the text doesn't change heights. Returning to the Format Text dialog box shows that the height has reverted back to the value in the Style. Also, the Font can't be changed (it's grey, but the pulldown menu works) and the Style can't be changed (it's grey, and the pull down menu doesn't work).
My current work-around is to make an new named "Active Standard" Style using the Style Editor. Then I must delete the note, and make a new text element and be sure to select that new named style in the Format Text dialog box before hitting OK and making the text. Once the text is made, I can't change it to different styles in the Format Text dialog box.

Text height will only change if you have the text highlighted, and then apply the change. It does this because you may want only a portion of the note to be changed.

Just jumping into this conversation to ask whether one could make the text height (a.k.a. font size) a parameter. I attempted that by just typing my parameter into the field but Inventor rejects it.
Hi! The font size and text height require an absolute value. It cannot reference a parameter.
Many thanks!
