How to learning autocad?

There are several places where you can define styles.  One is the Text Style Manager.  There, if you want to create an Annotative text style you should leave the text height box set to 0.00 so that you're able to change text heights later when you might want to.  That is John's point above.

But there is also a Dimension Style Manager.  There, on the Text Tab, is a Text Height box.  If you always want your dimension text to be 2.5 on paper regardless of the viewport (model) scale, you need to define that value here.

There are also Text Height definitions in the Multileader Style Manager and in the Table Style Manager dialogs.  Combined, and when used properly, these style settings help you keep your drawings looking consistent.

Dave.

I'll take a wild guess and say that when you set up your text style (same one you are using to display your dimensions) that where it says Size > Height you entered an exact height (ex. 2.5) when you should have left it blank.  Once you fill that box in you can't enter a text height in your DimStyle dialog box.

Thanks to all for your help, much appreciated. that is solved. Next question is how can i enter text height for dimensions in the New Dimensions Style box, i am unable to enter height in the text box.  I can change other settings but not able to enter anything in the height box.

 
Thanks to all

KC, you're not taking into account something called the "scale factor".  In model space you're drawing everything at full 1:1 scale.  But in the Layout (paper space) your viewport scales the model to fit the paper.  So any annotation (text or dimensions) that you put in the model needs to be scaled so it will look correct on paper.

We could try and guess your preferences for text heights or viewport scale, but you should go look at this web page on computing scale factors if you don't want to use (or haven't figured out yet) annotative scaling.  From there you'll be able to determine how large to make annotations in the model to look right in your viewports.

John's suggestion to study and learn annotative scaling however is a good one.  The advantage there is you won't need to worry about scale factors ever again.  That's now become the old way of doing things.  And we really don't have time for that anymore.  :)

Dave.

In layout i thing you use template as like maximum of A1 size of drawing when you will printout on A1 or A2 size paper size it will be not look so short as per paper size.

So what I think you are suggesting is that KC consider printing his drawing at a larger scale so the text will appear bigger on the drawing.  Is that it?

What if KC is limited to printing on an A4 size sheet of paper?
