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.
NOTE The SPACETRANS command is not available from the Model tab or in a
perspective view.
For more information about entering commands transparently, see Enter
Commands on the Command Line
on page 45.
Change the Justification of Text Objects Without Changing Their Location
Use JUSTIFYTEXT to redefine the insertion point of text without moving the
text. For example, a table or schedule may contain text that is located correctly
but each text object in the table should be right-justified instead of left-justified
for future entries or modifications.
To scale multiline text objects without changing their locations
1 Click Annotate tab ➤ Text panel ➤ Scale.
2 Select one or more multiline text objects and press ENTER.
3 Specify one of the justification options or press ENTER to accept the
existing text justifications.
4 Enter s and enter the scale factor to be applied to each mtxt object.
