To Configure Text Height and Color for Detail Views (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

By default, detail view labels are one size larger than the base height specified by the master settings for the drafting standard. You can override these settings, if required.

  1. At the Command prompt, enter AMOPTIONS.
  2. In the Options dialog box, click the AM:Standards tab.
  3. In the Standard Elements list, expand the Detail View node.
  4. Double-click the current detail view style. The Modify Detail View dialog box appears.
  5. To change the detail view label text attributes:
    • In the View Label tab, specify the text color and text height.
      Note: To derive the text height from the base text height specified by the master settings of the drafting standard, select the text height marked “By NameOfCurrentDraftingStandard".
  6. To change the detail view identifier text attributes:
    • In the Identifier tab, specify the text color and text height.
      Note: To derive the text height from the base text height specified by the master settings of the drafting standard, select the text height marked “By NameOfCurrentDraftingStandard".
  7. Click OK until all dialog boxes close.
