You can adjust the dimension label size under:
Edit > Drawing > Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings

Thank you for answer.

The problem is that I use dwg2pdf command line converter from dwg file to pdf.
How can I set dimension settings for all converted files in batch (command) mode?

Have a look at the -set switch of the dwg2dwg command line tool:

Ok ... thank you.

Another question:
In change log I found this:
Command line tools:
dwg2pdf:
Add switch -auto-orientation, auto page orientation based on bounding box
In documentation dwg2pdf this new feature doesn't exist yet.
Could you give me an example how can I run dwg2pdf with this option?
