Dimensioning numbers gigantic when printed

Hello,

  the measurement dimensioning numbers look neat and tiny in the 2D layout. However, when printed they are blown up about 4 times their size. The number really clutter the layout, it looks like a bug to me (why use a different font for printing). Is there any way I can set what font size to use for the numbers?

I'm using LI3D Pro 2.4 (434) on an i7 iMac with Mac OS 10.6.4, printing into PDF (Print > Save as PDF or Print > Preview).

Regards
Markus

Re: Dimensioning numbers gigantic when printed

Hi Markus,

The program doesn't scale the font size itself at printing. You have probably scaled the floor plan.

When you change the floor plan scale in the Project Setup dialog, the font size remains the same. So relatively to the drawing it becomes bigger or smaller.

Another scale option is in the Print dialog. It is "Scale entire document" in the Live Interior 3D section. This scaling affects everything on your floor plan including measurements to fit the drawing into one page.

Possibly, you have scaled down your floor plan and the numbers became bigger in relation to other objects in 2D layout.

Hello Nick,

  ahh, switching to 1:50 (which I assume is the default) cures the problem. Strange but thanks!
