Increase font size for Edit Dimension box/window?

I teach a high school computer aided drafting class, and when I'm showing them on the projector how to make a sketch and what numbers I want them to enter the font is too small for them to read while I'm typing in the Edit Dimension box.  Is there a way to make the font size bigger for that?  

 

I went to file>options>General>Text appearance and changed it from 8 to 9 point, but  it made no difference.  Searching indicates that I can use the annotation scale for my dimension text, and that worked great, but I sure would like to make that text entry box a little bigger.

Hi @Zweerink,

I don't believe it's possible if you're referring to this: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-t...

I can double-check with @johnsonshiue but I think the best bet will be to increase your annotation scale (Application Options -> General Tab)  so your students can see the dimension once placed

Hi! To change the sketch dimension display size, you can change the Annotation Scale (Tools -> App Options -> General -> Annotation Scale -> change it to 3 from the default value 1.0.

Regarding the dialog size, you will need to change the DPI (%) in Windows Display settings.

Many thanks!

I had questioned the same component at one time. I made most of these task parameters after which descovered Shared Parameters and desired to transform all of them to a Shard Parameter record as you canread.
