Also as in DP, Artistic Text resizes when you resize its container but Frame Text does not. So because the text is 'Frame' text it will not change size. I noticed that if I change it to 'Artistic' text then it does resize but the downside to that is when I drag the group resizing handles of the dimension lines the text will distort. That means I will either have to add the dimension text each time using Artistic text or rasterize the file so I can resize the whole drawing.That's OK if I only want that one resize but I would have to save the original unrasterized for subsequent resizing - unless there is a simpler way!

jackamus Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hi Alfred, Yes that is true but I want to drag a side handle up or down or side to side to resize the dimension lines that does not maintain the aspect ration. This is so it will fit various dimensions on the drawing. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed! Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools.

Why not cut the text objects before resizing the group, and then paste them back in again and resize them to fit?

Alfred Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Perhaps the Constraints feature in AD will help you achieve your goal.

jackamus Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hi Alfred, This might do the job but, although I have found the 'Constraints' tab via 'View', I can't work out how I can apply it to the text.
