Summary

We are using the AlignToViewSize property of text, etc to allow users to keep the size of the text to a set size as they zoom in and out.There isn’t very much sensitivity in this setting however as it is an int. Typically 1 is too small, and 2 is too large. Can this value be made a double, or is there another way to make minor adjustments to the height/size of the figures?

Solution

In version 6025 AlignToViewSize supports also negative values.

AlignToViewSize  Get/Set the height of the object in millimeters of output Device for positive values or hundreds of millimeters for negative values.

If value is not 0 then the height of the object will be the same independently of current zoom.

If value is greater than 0 then the height of the object will be in device millimeters.

If value = 0 height is relative to Drawing Units.

If value is less than 0 then the height of the object will be in hundreds of device millimeters.

Negative values are in hundreds of millimeters of output device (screen/printer etc). For example, in order the object to have 1.5 millimeters size you must set it to -150 (means 150/100 millimeters)

Default value = 0.
