size alternative quotes in autocad 2009

[MBT]

Good morning to all
Tuesday night. .
As I have to send drawings to the states to make them build, I need to add inches under those in millimeters.
so far no problem, because imposed style, with its good multiplication factor etc. etc.
the problem is: I would like the inches quotas to have a text height different from those in millimeters.
for space issues, basically.
I don't find any variable that directs me this height.
to you it is possible?

Thanks again for the help

for the size of the text in the quotas there is only dimtxt, if in the style of quota is not assigned a fixed height to the text (until 2008).

You better create two text styles.

negative. . .
dimtxt changes the value of the text height of the whole quota.
to explain myself better.. .
If I work in scale 1:1, I would like the in mm quota to have the text 3.5 mm high while the alluci quotas would like to be 2.5mm high

with mechanical autocad perhaps it is possible, even if it is not really liner. . depends also on how many styles you have and how many odds are;
Now I don't know what version you use...

if you have mechanical you can insert this string "<>\h50;[]" under the heading "local change to the quota text" of any quota. the number sets the height of the second unit of measurement.
then, applying the property through mechanical (not with the format copy, to understand) you copy the text on all the desired odds.
to do even better, you make a script that does everything and you're fine:wink:

the change to the text also works with autocad "release", but I don't know how to copy the text for all quotas...

time ago I used to put mechanical tolerances with lt, and it worked well... and it was even faster than it seems.. .
Of course it has the disadvantage of not having a dedicated quota style. . .

I can't do it. .

But here could help the vba if voiu... I can detect the value of the quota and then insert as text the conversion under the original text between the [ ] with the desired height. . .

Of course, however, this is a text so you have to regenerate the quota... Obviously this can be done by selecting all odds in one shot only... .

"<>\h50;[]"

quoto... I didn't know you could in autocad "liscio"
and if you want to put it under the quota insert it so <>\x\h25;[]

I have autocad mechanical, in fact
Thanks for the tip. I'm definitely trying tomorrow. :finger:

I forgot to say... just make the special button:

^c^ccmddia;0;_dimedit;n;<>\x\h25;[];cmddia;1;

nothing to excel
the system works nicely.
has a single slight defect, however, linked to my way of working.
I'll explain. .
with mechanical, I define a single style of quota, valid for scale 1:1
then creating the "windows" with the amscarea command and defining in these the scale, mechanical is "arrange" to use the defined style by adapting it to the staircase of the window.
if I change the style by adding the string /h2; this applies to the scale 1:1, rightly. but mechanical is not so smart to change this string for windows with scale other than 1:1.
So it's my job to work with styles, like before mechanical.
Nothing serious. It's combined.
It is enough to know;

 

[GiGa]

proof così:

^c^ccmddia;0;_dimedit;n;<>\x\h0.714x;[];cmddia;1;

 

[MBT]

proof così:

^c^ccmddia;0;_dimedit;n;<>\x\h0.714x;[];cmddia;1;

excellent solution. . .
I did more.
I put in the style of quota, as suffix to the primary quota, the string \h0.57x;
Thus using the mechanical and window system, all odds are correctly scaled and the secondary size is 0.57 times the primary.

thanks to all for the collaboration.
coffee paid when you pass by:wink:

azz... it was the first I tried, but it didn't come to me... I was probably wrong with the syntax. .
but something doesn't come back to me. .
is the string "\h0.57x" suffix or prefix?
if you put it in prefix, all the quota text will be high 0.57x.. .
instead putting in suffix \h0.57x (magari con \x), the text is correctly scaled under the main text but above the quota line...
I usually put alternative units in line with the main drive or under the quota line...

I put it as suffix to the main dimension.
In fact, I did several experiments, but I had to give up and put the odds in mignolia in line with those in millimeters.
all the experiments made to put them under (option /x or similar) lead as a result a large square bracket and then the text in thumbs in small. . .
aesthetically very unpleasant.
instead if I leave it online it works nicely. ...
