162' divided by 20 when I stated that I was using 1":20' scale means 162 feet divided by 20 feet to get 8.1 scaled grid inches. Your sarcasm is not productive. The "Good for you" comment shows your character. Please do not ever respond to another one of my post. I will learn from others who have pat...

Nice to see NC here. I grew up in Kenly NC, east of Raleigh.

How can I get the length size to display the scale size and not the paper length?

Thank You Andrew

They all need to be changed from 0.025 to 0.25 in size. I have tried to select a bunch of them and bring up the property...

The Text is created via this text tool in the attached screen shot, What is the fix if it is inline text?

I can I copy the attributes of one text to another? I have about 50 individual text items that I need to go back and change the size.
I tried to select all text items and then the properties box to change the height .....but that did not work.
