Height Specifies the text height for symbol text. When the height is set to ByNameOfCurrentDraftingStandard, it acquires the text height from the master settings of the current drafting standard. If the master setting changes, the text height of all taper/slope symbols based on the current drafting standard change automatically. If the current standard is a custom standard , you can specify a non-standard text height. If not, the AutoCAD Mechanical toolset restricts you to selecting a value from the list. |
