      Hello everybody

      I'm facing some small problem. Is it possible to change the Font (Size of letter at least!)
      using Text Tool ?

      Some explanations may be to large and so unreadable because recovering the Drawing itself.
      Mainly in tutorials.
      Thanks for any advices

      ( Sorry for my poor English )

      MALAISE 😄 😉

        If you want to write text for tutorials, just use the native SU text tool (but click in empty space to make sure you dont get a leader.) This is vector text (i tihnk) so it scales with the level of zoom.

        If your talking about text that is geometry, as in the stuff that text tool outputs, just use the scale tool to resize it.

          Thanks a lot REMUS for your early reply.

          I follow yours advices, but Native SU Text tool ( I mean the one in label not 3D Text ) doesn't allow resizing. The text is still facing you whatever you magnify. A smaller font
          would be appreciated

          Others ways ?? ❓

            You can adjust the font size (and style and color) under Window>Model Info>Text. There's two different text types that can be adjusted and you can either select the text you wish to modify or select all of it and modify it.

              If tat doesnt do it for you its probably worth giving TIGs textool ruby a go. You get a lot more control over the text, but its created as geometry, altohugh this sund liek an advantage in your situation.
