Hello,
Is there a way to customize text size in sewerGEMs? I am trying to get the label text size for each manhole to be large enough to see in various Map Views. I am having an issue because if I zoom in close enough to read the labels it is hard to see where I am in relation to the other manholes and pipes in the model. I also do not want a ton of map views in the report.
Here are some pictures for reference:

Thanks,

Hey Courtney,
Take a look at this Wiki article. It explains how to set your labels to be GIS style which is easier to see when zooming in and out.
Please let me know if this does not work for you or does not answer your question and I'll get more details from you.
Thanks,Larry

Hi Courtney,
In addition to what Larry describes see this wiki article as well:
Wiki (Changing Symbol Size, Text heights)
Note: Not mentioned in the article, but you can also change the Plot scale factor on that same options dialog (best to change the plot scale first and then adjust symbol size/text heights if further adjustments are needed).

Courtney,
Just so you don't get bored... here is another article for you to consider.
Using Zoom Dependent Visibility to cause elements to disappear at certain zoom levels
Courtney, note that those zoom dependent visibility settings will enable you to use GIS style visibility for annotations when zoomed in, while preventing the drawing pane from getting overcrowded when zoomed further out. You may need to experiment a bit with the values for your particular model.
