Change Text Scale and Justification
Several commands are available for changing the scale of one or more text
and attribute objects, or their insertion points, simultaneously without
changing the location of the objects.
You can change the scale of one or more text objects, attributes, and attribute
definitions, or their insertion points, simultaneously without changing the
location of the objects.
Change the Scale of Multiple Text Objects
A drawing may contain hundreds of text objects that need to be scaled, and
it would be tedious to scale them individually. Use SCALETEXT to change the
scale of one or more text objects such as text, multiline text, and attributes.
You can specify a relative scale factor or an absolute text height, or you can
scale selected text to match the height of existing text. Each text object is
scaled using the same scale factor, and it maintains its current location.
Convert Text Height Between Model Space and Paper Space
The SPACETRANS command calculates equivalent lengths between model
space units and paper space units. By using SPACETRANS transparently, you
can provide commands with distance or length values relative to another
space. For example, you may want to create a text object in model space that
matches the height of other text in a layout. From model space, you could
enter
Command: text
Specify start point of text or [Justify/Style]: 1,3
Specify height <0.375>: 'spacetrans
>>Specify paper space distance <1.000>: 3/8
Resuming TEXT command
Specify height <0.375>: 1.173
When the command is complete, a text object is created in model space with
a height of 1.173, which appears as 3/8 when viewed from a layout.
