Changing Inventor Dimension Text Size

This video is for educational purposes. It isn't perfect, I'm not
perfect. There might be a better way to do make this part. If
there is please make your own video and send me the link. I'd
love to see how you do it differently.

I'm always looking for tips and tricks and ways to make things go
faster. But remember, I am teaching high school kids, and
sometimes you have to just cover basics before you get into the
heavy stuff.

This is the exact problem I had and your the only person to explain it in this way.

One step further... this changes the displayed dimension like you say. Thank you! You are awesome! If you have a tolerance on that measurement displayed it does not change the text size of the tolerance value. To change the text size of the tolerance values also go to Styles Editor, but instead of Text go to Dimension, then Default (ANSI), then open the Text tab and change the size there.

You may not be perfect, but you were incredibly helpful. I tried going on the autocad inventor site, which is amazingly useless. Thank you so much. You are right, in that it isn't hard, once you find the spot, but I can't for the life of me figure out why they make finding this so convoluted.

Was working on a school project today and had this exact problem. Thanks for the step by step guide!

[robertzerr]

You sir are an amazing human being. Thank you so much!

[josephgorman]

it may be 2 years later but this just saved my life thank you so much

[jeannetteschultz]

Thank you, thank you! I tried, fruitlessly, for like a half hour to get those teensy tiny numbers to expand. You saved me!

[blairknight]

Inventor programmers take note....WHY MAKE IT SO HARD!@@! just put that option in the dimension box with an apply button!

[saleshive]

Thank you so much bro, so many people couldn't explain this properly! Like 9/10 people are terrible at explaining things.

[gunnareyjolfsson]

Thank you so much, spent we too much time trying to figure it out on my own!

[widiokta]

It's video very helpful....
I've found this problem for many times. But until I watch this video then I can solve the problem for dimension font.
Thanks alot

[jayasmrmore]

Extremely helpful, you do it step by step. Thanks!

[stillnotspicy]

always have to come back to this video when i forget. thanks!

[everhope]

Thank you! Incredibly quick and to the point

[jabalbesina]

I love everything about this video. It saved my day.

[youssefelm]

Thanks pal, i spent a year looking for it haha

[heiditeunissen]

Sure Bill,
While dimensioning a rounded corner (or circle) in a titleblock, the dim. automatically placed an "r" (indicating radius) in front of the size. How can I change it to drop the "r" or change the prefix to show the diameter symbol, or nothing at all?
I hope that makes sence...

[fyremonte]

Perfect video! Exactly what I needed. TYVM.

Thank you. But is there a way to change text size of a single dimension without changing the others?

[finnrock]

Thank you. 10/10 would learn from again
