All those settings match the next time you start MTEXT from this tool on the tool palette. Ready for more automation? Get it right once then Right-click-drag to the tool palette. I hope this may help anyone else who encounters this. I only found out this critical step by hacking – it doesn’t appear to be documented anywhere. It turns out you have to type in the value you want, AND THEN PRESS ‘ENTER” in order for the value to be accepted. I was typing in a new value, pretty much as your screenshot shows, and then clicking outside the drop-down box, whereupon AutoCAD would discard what I typed and substitute one of its own values. The height of the currently active style is set to 0, and the style is defined as non-annotative.

Not so, read this snippet from an AutoCAD forum post…Ġ1-18-2013 02:28 PM in reply to: evansTSMR On the ribbon the MTEXT size drop down list defaults to 0.2 and you might assume it cannot be changed.

Note: This setting is stored in the drawing so it would be wise to configure your drawing template with your most used value. To solve this issue I typed TEXTSIZE on the command line to set the default text height to 0.1. Now select Existing option from the command line and then select scale factor option and then type the scale in which you want to convert the text height and press enter. When I create MTEXT in a blank drawing it never comes out with the right settings on my first attempt. To use this command type SCALETEXT on the command line press enter and select the text from drawing area and press Enter again. Seems like this is the one thing I overlook time and again when working in a new drawing.
