    TEXT Size ? Needs to be larger

    I just layed out a 33 acre parcel It required Lot lines to be 170 text size, which worked out great. But when you insert a Text box with info in the drawing , it can only go up to 120 in size What gives ?

    Rick--

    Select the text box, shift and select again and block. Increase the block size to what ever is needed. When you unblock the text, the size will remain. Then you can copy it and change the text as needed with the text staying the larger size all the while.
