Text Height
|
- Size in Depth Units - Scales text hight to the Cross Section Module's default depth units (set on the Map Projection Settings Units tab). With this option, text hight will increase and decrease with zoom.
- Size in Inches (Absolute) - Scales text height in inches. This option sets text height at a single size - it will stay the same size regardless of zoom. Be careful with this option when sending large cross sections to a plotter - an absolute text size that looks good on a computer screen may be too small for a large plot.
- Size in Inches (Scaled To Section) - Scales text height in inches relative to the actual size of the cross section (set by the vertical depth scale and the horizontal Cross Section Size Options). Put another way, this draws text at the actual scale that will be sent to the plotter.
