Post by: anon125 on September 08, 2012, 02:18:39 PM
in turboplan pro landscape 12.1

how do i get the dimension lines to be the actual width of the room?
rather than half way through the walls!
(and be 4 inches less! )
thanks all

Hi Rick,

You should find those options in Settings / Dimension Settings. The options there allow you to choose whether to use wall centre, window centre or edges etc. I think that was all the same in V12.

Hi Rick,

You can change the text in the same dialog. Click the Current Style button on the top left corner. Double-click the Style and you will get another dialog with a Text tab, where you can change the text style, size etc BUT.....
Do you really need to change it? Generally the defaulf size is ideal. Have you printed it and found it too small or too large? The size setting is the size the text will print and has little to do with how it appears on the screen. If the text setting is 2mm or 1/8th inch, that is the exact size it will print on paper, regardless of what print scale you use, so it is always readable.

If you haven't already printed it, I would certainly do so before changing the size.
