    Default Change ALL Sketchup dimensions text to larger font with one command?

    Hi all,

    I've placed quite a number of dimensions on my sketch document (*.skp).

    I've printed but the font is ridiculously small.

    Is there a way I can tell sketchup to use a larger bold font and with a single command.

    i.e. I don't want to have to troll thru each and every dimension one at a time trying to change the font.

    thanks in advance
    Thanks,

    And they make it weird when changing
    Window | model info | units
    to millimetres and no decimal places.
    Then x out of the model info window and nothing has changed until you click on the Sketchup display window.
    Grrrrr.

    I've gotten in to the habit of ctrl-z ing out of the last command when I can't figure out what its done.

    LOL

    you can do
    window -> model info -> dimensions

    make your changes to the font and size you want. then click the 'select all dimensions button' and then click "update selected dimensions" button.

    There it is!

    Brilliant!

    yeah the "select all dimensions".
    I saw that once before but couldn't find it.
    Spent hours looking for it.
    Grrrr.


    Some of those commands are in the strangest places.

    Its like someone from Apple designed it.

    Thanks heaps!
