[v8i ss2] Text Height And Width Not Locked By Default For Dimension Style and Text Style (lock unlocked)

This probably can be done through a VBA. But I just wonder regardless of this setting being unlocked or locked you can store desired value in a saved dimension or text style. I would recommend setting the desired setting for height and width as well as the lock/unlock state in the dimension and text style.

VBA can do anything if it has the necessary code to do so. The desired value can change for the special cases that I'm dealing with; for standard cases that's what I do. The lock/unlock state is lost when the dialog box is closed (that is it always goes back to default unlock).

I suspect the default setting that I'm looking for is not available to the common user (for example changing a configuration variable). Therefore I'm verifying this response to close the question. Possibly MDL could solve this problem.

I created standard text styles for all the standard drafting text heights and I set the text height and width to be equal and saved these in  TEXTdgnlib

My dim styles also live in there too

So when ever we want to place a dim (or Text)  we use a standard text style from the lib and the dim settings use that to control size of arrows, leaders etc..

so it doesn't matter if locked or unlocked as I defined the styles for text with set  various text heights of equal widths  and fonts already ie

Arial Narrow 1.8 , 2.5, 3.5, 5, 7 and 10 all equal height and widths mm ( also annotation scale set too)

I even have back ground filled version with colour BG turned on for wipe out or masking under the text..

This way is a great time saver and also standardised for all office users so consistent look to all plans...
