What's the best way to edit text at architectual scale

[iOne iTwo]

I'm drawing 1:1 at architectural scale.
When editing text, only a few characters fit on the text dialog.
What's the best way to handle such text editing, without manually scaling down, manually scaling up?

Hi,

The text dialog size is independent from the drawing scale, paper scale or dimension format like 'Architectural'.

I already answered your questions about that a few times.

Have a look at your text size options in the above capture of the text dialog.
The main font is set to 0.05 high. (Equal to the Text entity property 'Text Height')
The inline formatting is set to 1.00 high.

Inline formatting supersedes the general Text Height property only for the part that is formatted this way.
Text is then displayed in the text box scaled up 1.00/0.05 = 200 times compared to normal text size.

If both would match better like +50% or -10%, 1/2, x2, x3 ... Then it would not be scaled up that much in the text box.
If both would match then inline formatting is the same as normal and even cleared as formatting in the source string.

It is even possible that whole your text its normal size is superseded.
Inline formatting is essentially meant for a local format different from normal, different from the main font options.


The real question here is:

• How large must the text be ... ?

Use Text Height = 1.00 if that is required or use Text Height = 0.05 if it must be that small.
A Text Height property of 0.05 but then overruled by inline formatting to 200 times larger ...
... Is not logical or practical and indeed complex to work with.
