Rescaling annotation

After importing CAD annotation, you can rescale the font size property by applying a conversion factor to existing values in the FontSize field with Field Calculator.

The following steps rescale annotation from meters to U.S. survey feet.

Steps:
  1. Start an editing session. This is optional. An editing session enables you to undo your results but is not required to perform field calculations.
  2. Right-click the annotation feature layer and click Open Attribute Table.
  3. Right-click the field heading for the FontSize field and click Field Calculator Calculator.
  4. Double-click the FontSize field in the fields list to enter it into the expression box.
  5. Type *(1200/3937).

    The complete expression should read: [FontSize]*(1200/3937)

  6. Click OK.
  7. Close the attribute table.

Verify your results.
