Hi hoping someone might be able to help me out.I'm using lighting 2d when i print my drawings usually for ease in a portrait A4 size i can rarely if ever read the gel numbers,desk channels in the par cans or generic symbols.Is there any way of increasing the font size within these symbols?

I don't have a plotter or large format printer readily available nor do i want to print multiple A4 pages and stick them together either,i know how to use "set print area" but even when i select a small area it's still very tricky too make out all the numbering.

Suggestions?

Cheers CJ

Hi CJ,

You can change text height by using the Text Height editbox in the Font toolbar.  Just select the symbol or symbols, type in a new height (or use the up/down arrows) and all text in the symbol will become that height.

If you want to change single text items, Unlock the document (check the button with an open padlock on it).  This temporarily ungroups symbols so you can edit individual objects within the symbol.  Remember to uncheck Unlock when you've finished editing the symbol otherwise the symbols in your document will all behave as if they are ungrouped.

I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards

Rob
