Cannot scale texts with Modify > Scale
From a QCAD user:
Re: Cannot scale texts with Modify > Scale
Text height is defined as an overall entity property "Text Height". This property is scaled when using the scale tool.
However, it is also possible to override text height inline as part of the inline text formatting. This can be used to change the text height (or color, font, etc) mid text. In this case, the scale tool does not have any effect since the formatting is part of the text string, not part of the text geometry.
You can check if the text height is defined inline using the property editor:
- View > Property Editor
- Select text entity
- If the "Text" property contains formatting in the format "\H#;" where # is a number, the text height is overridden inline.
One possible fix is to remove the formatting part and define the desired text height in the "Text Height" property instead:
Alternatively, you may want to use the Edit > Find / Replace tool to remove inline formattings:
